The epoll mode definitely exists in spark, but the official documentation does not mention it, nor any of the other settings that appear to be unofficially documented in:
https://github.com/jaceklaskowski/mastering-apache-spark-book/blob/master/spark-rpc-netty.adoc I don't seem to have any particular performance problems with the default NIO impl, but the "lower gc pressure" mentioned in the official netty docs https://github.com/netty/netty/wiki/Native-transports does seem attractive. However, the fact that it's not even documented gives me pause. Is it deprecated, or perhaps just not useful? Do I have to stick the native library jar into the spark classpath to use it? -- *CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email message, and any documents, files or previous e-mail messages attached to it is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
