[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-10821) RandomForest serialization OOM during findBestSplits

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10821?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14934298#comment-14934298 ] 

Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-10821:
-------------------------------------------

Hi, this is more a question for the user list, so I'll close it for now.  But a few comments:

The real problem is that MLlib decision trees are meant for a relatively small number of features.  They should work very well for a few thousand features, and could work for more but become fairly slow.

However, I'm working on a new implementation which should make training much faster with millions of features.

One suggestion: It sounds like your data are extremely sparse.  I'd suggest hashing your feature vector to maybe 1000 features and try again.

> Details:
> My RDD is type MLLIB LabeledPoint objects, with each holding sparse vectors inside. This RDD has a total size of roughly 45MB. My sparse vector has a total length of ~15 million while only about 3000 or so are non-zeros. Works fine for up to sparse vector size 10 million. 
> My cluster is setup on AWS such that my master is a r3.8xlarge along with two r3.4xlarge workers. Driver has ~190GB allocated to it while my RDD is ~45MB.
> Configurations as follows:
> spark version: 1.5.0 
> ----------------------------------- 
> spark.executor.memory 32000m 
> spark.driver.memory 230000m 
> spark.driver.cores 10 
> spark.executor.cores 5 
> spark.executor.instances 17 
> spark.driver.maxResultSize 0 
> spark.storage.safetyFraction 1 
> spark.storage.memoryFraction 0.9 
> spark.storage.shuffleFraction 0.05 
> spark.default.parallelism 128 
> spark.serializer.objectStreamReset 1
> My original code is in python which I tried on 1.4.0 and 1.5.0, so I thought that maybe running something in scala may resolve the problem. I wrote a toy scala example and tested it on the same system yielding the same errors. Note the test code will most likely eventually throw an error due to the fact certain features are always 0 and MLLIB currently errors out during this operation.
