> when running bigger ALS training spark spills loads of temp data into the local-dir (in my case yarn/local/usercache/antony.mayi/appcache/... - running on YARN from cdh 5.3.2) eventually causing all the disks of all nodes running out of space (in my case I have 12TB of available disk capacity before kicking off the ALS but it all gets used (and yarn kills the containers when reaching 90%).
> even with all recommended options (configuring checkpointing and forcing GC when possible) it still doesn't get cleared.
> here is my (pseudo)code (pyspark):
> {code}
> sc.setCheckpointDir('/tmp')
> training = sc.pickleFile('/tmp/dataset').repartition(768).persist(StorageLevel.MEMORY_AND_DISK)
> model = ALS.trainImplicit(training, 50, 15, lambda_=0.1, blocks=-1, alpha=40)
> sc._jvm.System.gc()
> {code}
> the training RDD has about 3.5 billions of items (~60GB on disk). after about 6 hours the ALS will consume all 12TB of disk space in local-dir data and gets killed. my cluster has 192 cores, 1.5TB RAM and for this task I am using 37 executors of 4 cores/28+4GB RAM each.
> this is the graph of disk consumption pattern showing the space being all eaten from 7% to 90% during the ALS (90% is when YARN kills the container):
