Apart from user defined broadcast variable, there are others which is being created by spark. This could be one of those.
As I had mentioned you can do a small program where you create a broadcast variable. Check the broadcast variable id(say its x). Then go to the /tmp to open broadcast_x file. You will find the content is serialized output of your variable.
