Andrew Or created SPARK-12414: --------------------------------- Summary: Remove closure serializer Key: SPARK-12414 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12414 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: Spark Core Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Reporter: Andrew Or
There is a config `spark.closure.serializer` that accepts exactly one value: the java serializer. This is because there are currently bugs in the Kryo serializer that make it not a viable candidate. This was uncovered by an unsuccessful attempt to make it work: SPARK-7708. My high level point is that the Java serializer has worked well for at least 6 Spark versions now, and it is an incredibly complicated task to get other serializers (not just Kryo) to work with Spark's closures. IMO the effort is not worth it and we should just remove this documentation and all the code associated with it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
