             Summary: Persist on RDD fails the second time if the action is called on a child RDD without showing a FAILED message
                 Key: SPARK-7002
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7002
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Spark Core, Spark Shell
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
         Environment: Platform: Power8
OS: Ubuntu 14.10
Java: java-8-openjdk-ppc64el


            Reporter: Tom Hubregtsen


The major issue is: Persist on RDD fails the second time if the action is called on a child RDD without showing a FAILED message. This is pointed out at 2)
next to this:
toDebugString on a child RDD does not show that the parent RDD is [Disk Serialized 1x Replicated]. This is pointed out at 1)

Note: I am persisting to disk (DISK_ONLY) to validate that the RDD is or is not physically stored, as I did not want to solely rely on a missing line in .toDebugString (see comments in trace)

scala> val rdd1 = sc.parallelize(List(1,2,3))
scala> val rdd2 = rdd1.map(x => (x,x+1))
scala> val rdd3 = rdd2.reduceByKey( (x,y) => x+y)
scala> import org.apache.spark.storage.StorageLevel
scala> rdd2.persist(StorageLevel.DISK_ONLY)

scala> rdd2.toDebugString

// 1) rdd3 does not show that the other RDD's are [Disk Serialized 1x Replicated], but the data is on disk. This is verified by
// a) The line starting with CachedPartitions
// b) a find in spark_local_dir: "find . -name "*"  | grep rdd" returns "./spark-b39bcf9b-e7d7-4284-bdd2-1be7ac3cacef/blockmgr-4f4c0b1c-b47a-4972-b364-7179ea6e0873/1f/rdd_4_*", where * are the number of partitions

// 2) The data is not visible on disk though the find command previously mentioned, and is also not mentioned in the toDebugString (no line starting with CachedPartitions, even though  [Disk Serialized 1x Replicated] is mentioned). It does work when you call the action on the actual RDD:
scala> rdd2.collect()
scala> rdd2.toDebugString
res21: String = 
(100) MapPartitionsRDD[1] at map at <console>:23 [Disk Serialized 1x Replicated]
  |        CachedPartitions: 100; MemorySize: 0.0 B; TachyonSize: 0.0 B; DiskSize: 802.0 B
  |   ParallelCollectionRDD[0] at parallelize at <console>:21 [Disk Serialized 1x Replicated]
scala> rdd3.toDebugString
res22: String = 
(100) ShuffledRDD[2] at reduceByKey at <console>:25 []
  +-(100) MapPartitionsRDD[1] at map at <console>:23 []
      |       CachedPartitions: 100; MemorySize: 0.0 B; TachyonSize: 0.0 B; DiskSize: 802.0 B
      |   ParallelCollectionRDD[0] at parallelize at <console>:21 []
// Data appears on disk again (using find command preciously mentioned), and line with CachedPartitions is back in the .toDebugString
