[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-10797) RDD's coalesce should not write out

> It seems that {{RDD.coalesce}} will unnecessarily write out (to shuffle files) temporary keys used on the shuffle code path. Consider the following code:
> {code:title=RDD.scala|borderStyle=solid}
> if (shuffle) {
> /** Distributes elements evenly across output partitions, starting from a random partition. */
> val distributePartition = (index: Int, items: Iterator[T]) => {
> var position = (new Random(index)).nextInt(numPartitions)
> items.map { t =>
> // Note that the hash code of the key will just be the key itself. The HashPartitioner
> // will mod it with the number of total partitions.
> position = position + 1
> (position, t)
> }
> } : Iterator[(Int, T)]
> // include a shuffle step so that our upstream tasks are still distributed
> new CoalescedRDD(
> new ShuffledRDD[Int, T, T](mapPartitionsWithIndex(distributePartition),
> new HashPartitioner(numPartitions)),
> numPartitions).values
> } else {
> {code}
> {{ShuffledRDD}} will hash using {{position}} as keys as in the {{distributePartition}} function. After the bucket has been chosen by the sorter {{ExternalSorter}} or {{BypassMergeSortShuffleWriter}}, the {{DiskBlockObjectWriter}} writes out both the (temporary) key and value to the specified partition. On the next stage, after reading we take only the values with {{PairRDDFunctions}}.
> This certainly has a performance impact, as we unnecessarily write/read {{Int}} and transform the data.
