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

             Summary: Spark caching difference between 2.0.2 and 2.1.1
                 Key: SPARK-21576
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21576
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1
            Reporter: Yan
            Priority: Minor


Hi,

i asked a question on stackoverflow and was recommended to open jira

I'm a bit confused with spark caching behavior. I want to compute dependent dataset (b), cache it and unpersist source dataset(a) - here is my code:


{code:java}
val spark = SparkSession.builder().appName("test").master("local[4]").getOrCreate()
import spark.implicits._
val a = spark.createDataset(Seq(("a", 1), ("b", 2), ("c", 3)))
a.createTempView("a")
a.cache
println(s"Is a cached: ${spark.catalog.isCached("a")}")
val b = a.filter(x => x._2 < 3)
b.createTempView("b")
// calling action
b.cache.first
println(s"Is b cached: ${spark.catalog.isCached("b")}")

spark.catalog.uncacheTable("a")
println(s"Is b cached after a was unpersisted: ${spark.catalog.isCached("b")}")
{code}

When using spark 2.0.2 it works as expected:


{code:java}
Is a cached: true
Is b cached: true
Is b cached after a was unpersisted: true
{code}

But on 2.1.1:

{code:java}
Is a cached: true
Is b cached: true
Is b cached after a was unpersisted: false
{code}

in reality i have dataset a (complex database query), heavy processing to get dataset b from a, but after b is computed and cached dataset a is not needed anymore (i want to free memory)

How can i archive this in 2.1.1?
Thank you.
