This is a bug that was fixed and will be part of 0.8.2: https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/281
A workaround is setting the akka frame size to be larger using spark.akka.frameSize. The issue is that we added a mechanism to circumvent akka for large task results, but the implementation assumed this would never happen in local mode. That assumption turned out to be wrong, so it was patched in #281. - Patrick On Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 9:53 PM, Nick Pentreath <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm also running into this issue.
