Shivaram Venkataraman created SPARK-4030: --------------------------------------------
Summary: `destroy` method in Broadcast should be public Key: SPARK-4030 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4030 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: Block Manager, Spark Core Affects Versions: 1.1.0, 1.2.0 Reporter: Shivaram Venkataraman The destroy method in Broadcast.scala [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/broadcast/Broadcast.scala#L91] is right now marked as private[spark] This prevents long-running applications from cleaning up memory used by broadcast variables on the driver. Also as broadcast variables are always created with persistence MEMORY_DISK, this slows down jobs when old broadcast variables are flushed to disk. Making `destroy` public can help applications control the lifetime. -- 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
