[jira] [Updated] (FLINK-15032) Remove the eagerly serialization
from `RemoteRpcInvocation`
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15032?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Guowei Ma updated FLINK-15032:
------------------------------
Description:
Currently, the constructor of `RemoteRpcInvocation` serializes the `parameterTypes` and `arg` of an RPC call. This could lead to a problem:
Consider a job that has 1k parallelism and has a 1m union list state. When deploying the 1k tasks, the eager serialization would use 1G memory instantly(Some time the serialization amplifies the memory usage). However, the serialized object is only used when the Akka sends the message. So we could reduce the memory pressure if we only serialize the object when the message would be sent by the Akka.
Akka would serialize the message at last and all the XXXGateway related class could be visible by the RPC level. Because of that, I think the eager serialization in the constructor of `RemoteRpcInvocation` could be avoided. I also do a simple test and find this could reduce the time cost of the RPC call. The 1k number of RPC calls with 1m `String` message: The current version costs around 2700ms; the Nonserialization version cost about 37ms.
In summary, this Jira proposes to remove the serialization at the constructor of `RemoteRpcInvocation`.
