Hi There Spark Users, Curious what is going on here. Not sure if possible bug or missing something. Extra eyes are much appreciated.
Spark UI (Python API 2.4.3) by default is reporting persisted data-frames to be de-serialized MEMORY_AND_DISK however I always thought they were serialized for Python by default according to official documentation. However when explicitly changing the storage level to default … ex => df.persist(StorageLevel.MEMORY_AND_DISK) … the Spark UI returns the expected serialized data-frame under Storage Tab, but not when just calling … df.cache(). Do we have to explicitly set to … StorageLevel.MEMORY_AND_DISK … to get the serialized benefit in Python (which I thought was automatic)? Or is the Spark UI incorrect? SO post with specific example/details => https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56926337/conflicting-pyspark-storage-level-defaults Thank you for your time and research! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe e-mail: user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org
