Github user pwendell commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2933#issuecomment-60525495 I find this a little bit hacky. If the broadcast implementation has bugs or performance issues, we should just fix them and it will stabalize over time like any other new features we add. Having this mode where we might do one thing and might do another, it will make debugging and measuring things trickier. And we'll expose this configuration option which it seems like ultimately we will want to remove. IMO this would only be justified if we had a well documented performance issue that we felt we simply can't solve within the broadcast architecture, then you would give a latch here for people to avoid broadcasting.
