[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-54089) Add off-heap mode support for on-heap-only memory consumers

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-54089?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Hongze Zhang updated SPARK-54089:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
There are a few memory consumers that only support on-heap mode. Including:

# LongToUnsafeRowMap (for long key broadcast hash join)
# ExternalSorter (for non-serializable sort-based shuffle)

It's ideal to make them support off-heap when Spark is running with off-heap memory mode. For 3rd accelerator plugins that leverage Spark off-heap memory, having the large allocations in vanilla Spark supporting off-heap mode will significantly ease the memory settings for running the mixed query plan that contains both vanilla Spark and offloaded computations.

It's ideal to make them support off-heap when Spark is running with off-heap memory mode. For 3rd accelerator plugins that leverage Spark off-heap memory, having all the large allocations supporting off-heap mode will significantly ease the memory settings.
