[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-24815) Structured Streaming should support
dynamic allocation
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-24815?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Karthik Palaniappan updated SPARK-24815:
----------------------------------------
Description:
For batch jobs, dynamic allocation is very useful for adding and removing containers to match the actual workload. On multi-tenant clusters, it ensures that a Spark job is taking no more resources than necessary. In cloud environments, it enables autoscaling.
However, if you set spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled=true and run a structured streaming job, the batch dynamic allocation algorithm kicks in. It requests more executors if the task backlog is a certain size, and removes executors if they idle for a certain period of time.
Quick thoughts:
1) Dynamic allocation should be pluggable, rather than hardcoded to a particular implementation in SparkContext.scala (this should be a separate JIRA).
2) We should make a structured streaming algorithm that's separate from the batch algorithm. Eventually, continuous processing might need its own algorithm.
3) Spark should print a warning if you run a structured streaming job when Core's dynamic allocation is enabled

Dynamic allocation is very useful for adding and removing containers to match the actual workload. On multi-tenant clusters, it ensures that a Spark job is taking no more resources than necessary. In cloud environments, it enables autoscaling.
However, if you set spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled=true and run a structured streaming job, Core's dynamic allocation algorithm kicks in. It requests executors if the task backlog is a certain size, and remove executors if they idle for a certain period of time.
This does not make sense for streaming jobs, as outlined in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12133, which introduced dynamic allocation for the old streaming API.
First, Spark should print a warning if you run a structured streaming job when Core's dynamic allocation is enabled
Second, structured streaming should have support for dynamic allocation. It would be convenient if it were the same set of properties as Core's dynamic allocation, but I don't have a strong opinion on that.
If somebody can give me pointers on how to add dynamic allocation support, I'd be happy to take a stab.
