------------------------------------------------------------

I tried on local as well as yarn cluster, the result is more or less the same.

Due to this, I went through spark code and as my understanding goes every time a new Kafka stream comes, spark creates a new RRunner class object and broadcast variables, packages are shipped off to create a new R worker. But it should happen only once and not every time stream comes?

> For eg, I am getting streams from Kafka and I want to implement a model made in R for those streams. For this, I am using dapply.
> My code is:
> iris_model <- readRDS("./iris_model.rds")
> randomBr <- SparkR:::broadcast(sc, iris_model)
> kafka <- read.stream("kafka",subscribe = "source", kafka.bootstrap.servers = "localhost:9092", topic = "source")
> lines<- select(kafka, cast(kafka$value, "string"))
> schema<-schema(lines)
> df1<-dapply(lines,function(x){
> i_model<-SparkR:::value(randomMatBr)
> for (row in 1:nrow(x))
> { y<-fromJSON(as.character(x[row,"value"])) y$predict=predict(i_model,y) y<-toJSON(y) x[row,"value"] = y }
> x
> },schema)
> Every time when Kafka streams are fetched the dapply method creates new runner thread and ships the variables again, which causes a huge lag(~2s for shipping model) every time. I even tried without broadcast variables but it takes same time to ship variables. Can some other techniques be applied to improve its performance?
