> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-26881
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-26881
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: MLlib
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Rafael RENAUDIN-AVINO
> Assignee: Rafael RENAUDIN-AVINO
> Priority: Minor
>
> This issue hit me when running PCA on large dataset (~1Billion rows, ~30k columns).
> Computing Gramian of a big RowMatrix allows to reproduce the issue.
>
> The problem arises in the treeAggregate phase of the gramian matrix computation: results sent to driver are enormous.
> A potential solution to this could be to replace the hard coded depth (2) of the tree aggregation by a heuristic computed based on the number of partitions, driver max result size, and memory size of the dense vectors that are being aggregated, cf below for more detail:
> (nb_partitions)^(1/depth) * dense_vector_size <= driver_max_result_size
> I have a potential fix ready (currently testing it at scale), but I'd like to hear the community opinion about such a fix to know if it's worth investing my time into a clean pull request.
>
> Note that I only faced this issue with spark 2.2 but I suspect it affects later versions aswell.
