> This is a proposal to change the broadcast variable implementations in Spark to only read values when they are used rather than on deserializing.
> This change will be very helpful (and in our use cases required) for complex applications which have a large number of broadcast variables. For example if broadcast variables are class members, they are captured in closures even when they are not used.
> We could also consider cleaning closures more aggressively, but that might be a more complex change.
