[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-23529) Specify hostpath volume and mount the volume in Spark driver and executor pods in Kubernetes

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23529?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16427650#comment-16427650 ]

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

Hi [~foxish], I also have a use case for using hostpath volumes and would be happy to contribute the implementation. 

Summary: Enable short-circuit writes to distributed storage on k8s.

The Alluxio File System uses domain sockets to enable short-circuit writes from the client to worker memory when co-located on the same host machine. A directory, lets say /tmp/domain on the host, is mounted on the Alluxio worker container as well as the Alluxio client ( = Spark executor) container. The worker creates a domain socket /tmp/domain/d and if the client container mounts the same directory, it can write directory to the Alluxio worker w/o passing through network stack. The end result is faster data access when data is local.

Appreciate your thoughts on this!. I have an implementation ready exposing a new property spark.kubernetes.executor.volumes taking the value of the form hostPath:containerPath[:ro|rw].
