[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-1823) ExternalAppendOnlyMap can still OOM if one key is very large

We might create a new JIRA for it, but it doesn't exist yet. We'll create JIRA's for the major 1.2 issues at the beginning of September.

> If the values for one key do not collectively fit into memory, then the map will still OOM when you merge the spilled contents back in.
> This is a problem especially for PySpark, since we hash the keys (Python objects) before a shuffle, and there are only so many integers out there in the world, so there could potentially be many collisions.
