@srowen Considering Spark keeps 1000 stages in UI, if each stage has 10000
tasks, the duplicated strings will be a lot. I observed this, about 150MB in a
heap dump. Of cause, it's not significantly large but still worth to eliminate
them. I agree that JVM string deduplication is better but it 's not enabled by
default.
