Imran Rashid created SPARK-24307: ------------------------------------ Summary: Support sending messages over 2GB from memory Key: SPARK-24307 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-24307 Project: Spark Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Block Manager, Spark Core Affects Versions: 2.3.0 Reporter: Imran Rashid
Spark's networking layer supports sending messages backed by a {{FileRegion}} or a {{ByteBuf}}. Sending large FileRegion's works, as netty supports large FileRegions. However, {{ByteBuf}} is limited to 2GB. This is particularly a problem for sending large datasets that are already in memory, eg. cached RDD blocks. eg. if you try to replicate a block stored in memory that is over 2 GB, you will see an exception like: {noformat} 18/05/16 12:40:57 ERROR client.TransportClient: Failed to send RPC 7420542363232096629 to xyz.com/172.31.113.213:44358: io.netty.handler.codec.EncoderException: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: readerIndex: 0, writerIndex: -1294617291 (expected: 0 <= readerIndex <= writerIndex <= capacity(-1294617291)) io.netty.handler.codec.EncoderException: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: readerIndex: 0, writerIndex: -1294617291 (expected: 0 <= readerIndex <= writerIndex <= capacity(-1294617291)) at io.netty.handler.codec.MessageToMessageEncoder.write(MessageToMessageEncoder.java:106) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeWrite0(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:738) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeWrite(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:730) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.write(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:816) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.write(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:723) at io.netty.handler.timeout.IdleStateHandler.write(IdleStateHandler.java:302) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeWrite0(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:738) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeWrite(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:730) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.access$1900(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:38) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext$AbstractWriteTask.write(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:1081) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext$WriteAndFlushTask.write(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:1128) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext$AbstractWriteTask.run(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:1070) at io.netty.util.concurrent.AbstractEventExecutor.safeExecute(AbstractEventExecutor.java:163) at io.netty.util.concurrent.SingleThreadEventExecutor.runAllTasks(SingleThreadEventExecutor.java:403) at io.netty.channel.nio.NioEventLoop.run(NioEventLoop.java:463) at io.netty.util.concurrent.SingleThreadEventExecutor$5.run(SingleThreadEventExecutor.java:858) at io.netty.util.concurrent.DefaultThreadFactory$DefaultRunnableDecorator.run(DefaultThreadFactory.java:138) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Caused by: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: readerIndex: 0, writerIndex: -1294617291 (expected: 0 <= readerIndex <= writerIndex <= capacity(-1294617291)) at io.netty.buffer.AbstractByteBuf.setIndex(AbstractByteBuf.java:129) at io.netty.buffer.CompositeByteBuf.setIndex(CompositeByteBuf.java:1688) at io.netty.buffer.CompositeByteBuf.<init>(CompositeByteBuf.java:110) at io.netty.buffer.Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(Unpooled.java:359) at org.apache.spark.util.io.ChunkedByteBuffer.toNetty(ChunkedByteBuffer.scala:87) at org.apache.spark.storage.ByteBufferBlockData.toNetty(BlockManager.scala:95) at org.apache.spark.storage.BlockManagerManagedBuffer.convertToNetty(BlockManagerManagedBuffer.scala:52) at org.apache.spark.network.protocol.MessageEncoder.encode(MessageEncoder.java:58) at org.apache.spark.network.protocol.MessageEncoder.encode(MessageEncoder.java:33) at io.netty.handler.codec.MessageToMessageEncoder.write(MessageToMessageEncoder.java:88) ... 17 more {noformat} A simple solution to this is to create a "FileRegion" which is backed by a {{ChunkedByteBuffer}} (spark's existing datastructure to support blocks > 2GB in memory). A drawback to this approach is that blocks that are cached in memory as deserialized values would need to have the *entire* block serialized into memory before it can be pushed. However, that would involve a larger change to the block manager as well, and is not strictly necessary, so can be handled separately as a performance improvement. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
