[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-12196) Store blocks in storage devices with
hierarchy way
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12196?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
yucai updated SPARK-12196:
--------------------------
Description:
Problem:
Nowadays, users have both SSDs and HDDs.
SSDs have great performance, but capacity is low. HDDs have good capacity, but x2-x3 lower than SSDs.
How can we get both good?
Solution:
Our idea is to build hierarchy store: use SSDs as cache and HDDs as backup storage.
When Spark core allocates blocks for RDD (either shuffle or RDD cache), it gets blocks from SSDs first, and when SSD’s useable space is less than some threshold, getting blocks from HDDs.
In our implementation, we actually go further. We support a way to build any level hierarchy store access all storage medias (NVM, SSD, HDD etc.).
Performance:
1. At the best case, our solution performs the same as all SSDs.
At the worst case, like all data are spilled to HDDs, no performance regression.
2. Compared with all HDDs, hierarchy store improves more than x1.86 (it could be higher, CPU reaches bottleneck in our test environment).
3. Compared with Tachyon, our hierarchy store still x1.3 faster. Because we support both RDD cache and shuffle and no extra inter process communication.
