Patrick Wendell created SPARK-7292: -------------------------------------- Summary: Provide operator to truncate lineage without persisting RDD's Key: SPARK-7292 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7292 Project: Spark Issue Type: New Feature Components: Spark Core Reporter: Patrick Wendell
Checkpointing exists in Spark to truncate a lineage chain. I've heard requests from some users to allow truncation of lineage in a way that is "cheap" and doesn't serialized and persist the RDD. This is possible if the user is willing to forgo fault tolerance for that RDD (for instance, for shorter running jobs or ones that use a small number of machines). It's pretty easy to allow this so we should look into it for Spark 1.5. -- 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
