(was: The below code can produce this issue. I've also included some log output.
{code}
def showMemoryUsage(sc : SparkContext) = {
  
  val usersPerStep = 25000
  val count = 1000000
  val numSteps = count/usersPerStep
  
  val users = sc.parallelize(1 to count)
  val zippedUsers = users.zipWithIndex().cache()
  val userFeatures : RDD[(Int, Int)] = sc.parallelize(1 to count).map(s=>(s,2)).cache()
  val productFeatures : RDD[(Int, Int)] = sc.parallelize(1 to 50000000)
    .map(s => (s, 4)).cache()
  
  for (i <- 1 to numSteps) {
    val usersFiltered = zippedUsers.filter(s => {
      ((i - 1) * usersPerStep <= s._2) && (s._2 < i * usersPerStep)
    }).map(_._1).collect()
    
    usersFiltered.foreach(user => {
      val mult = productFeatures.map(s => s._2 * userFeatures.lookup(user).head)
      mult.takeOrdered(20)
      
      // Normally this would then be written to disk
      // For the sake of the example this is all we're doing
    })
  }
}

{code}
Example broadcast variable added:
14/12/30 19:25:19 INFO BlockManagerInfo: Added broadcast_0_piece0 in memory on CLIENT_NODE (size: 794.0 B, free: 441.9 MB)

And then if I parse the entire log looking for “free : XXX.X MB” I see the available memory slowly ticking away:
Free 441.8 MB
Free 441.8 MB
Free 441.8 MB
Free 441.8 MB
Free 441.8 MB
Free 441.8 MB
Free 441.8 MB
…
Free 441.7 MB
Free 441.7 MB
Free 441.7 MB
Free 441.7 MB
And so on.

Clearly the above code is not persisting the intermediate RDD (mult), yet memory is never being properly freed up.

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Spark Core
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
>            Reporter: Ilya Ganelin
>
> On a long running Spark job, Spark will eventually run out of memory on the driver node due to metadata overhead from the shuffle operation. Spark will continue to operate, however with drastically decreased performance (since swapping now occurs with every operation).
> The spark.cleanup.tll parameter allows a user to configure when cleanup happens but the issue with doing this is that it isn’t done safely, e.g. If this clears a cached RDD or active task in the middle of processing a stage, this ultimately causes a KeyNotFoundException when the next stage attempts to reference the cleared RDD or task.
> There should be a sustainable mechanism for cleaning up stale metadata that allows the program to continue running.
