Greetings! Thanks for the comment. I have tried several variants of this, as indicated. The code works on small sets, but fails on larger sets.However, I don't get memory errors.I see "java.nio.channels.CancelledKeyException" and things about "lost task"and then things like "Resubmitting state 1", and off it goes. I've already upped the memory (I think the last experiment had "--executor-memory 6G" and "--driver memory 6G". I'm experimenting with recoding this with map-reduce and so far seem to be having more success (with HADOOP_OPTS="-Xmx6g -Xmx5g") Again, each grouping should have no more than 6E7 values, and the data is (DataKey(Int,Int), Option[Float]), so that shouldn't need 5g? Anyway, thanks for the info. Best wishes,Mike

When transposed, each element contains 50M key value pairs. You probably should try to do what you're trying to do a slightly different way.Depends on what you mean by resubmitting but I imagine you need a cache() on an RDD you are reusing.

What I start with is key1: (col1, val-1-1, col2: val-1-2, col3: val-1-3, col4: val-1-4...)key2: (col1: val-2-1, col2: val-2-2, col3: val-2-3, col4: val 2-4, ...).... What I want (what I have been asked to produce :-)) is: col1: (key1: val-1-1, key2: val-2-1, key3, val-3-1, ...)col2: (key1: val-1-2, key2: val2-2, key3: val-3-2,...) So basically the transpose. The input is actually avro/parquet with each "key" in one record. In the output, the final step is to convert each column into a "matlab" file.Please don't ask me whether this is a good idea. I can get this to work for smallish data sets (e.g, a few hundred keys and a few hundred columns).However, if I crank up the number of keys to about 5e7, then this fails, even if I turn the number of columns that are actually used down to 10. The system seems to spend lots of time resubmitting parts of the first phase in which the data is read from the original records and shuffled and never quite finishes. I can't post the code, but I can give folks and idea of what I've tried. Try #1: Mapper emits data as (DataKey(col-as-int,key-as-int), value-as-Option[Any]), then create a ShuffledRDD using the col-as-int for partitioning and then "SetKeyOrdering" on the key-as-int. This is then fed to "mapPartitionWithIndex". Try #2: Emit (col-as-int, (key-as-int, value)) and groupBy, and have a final "map()" on each "col". Try #3: Emit (col-as-t, Collection[(key-as-int, value)]), then have a reduceByKey which takes the "union" of the collection (union for set, ++ for list) then havea final map() which attempts the final conversion. No matter what I do, it works for for "small" numbers of keys (hundreds), but when I crank it up, it seems to sit there resubmitting the shuffle phase.
