Re: Out of memory HDFS Read and Write
I was experimenting and found something interesting. I have executor OOM
even if I don’t write to remote clusters. So it is purely a dataframe read
and write issue
—————————————————————
To recap, I have an ETL data pipeline that does some logic, repartitions to
reduce the amount of files written, writes the output to HDFS as parquet
files. After, it reads the output and writes it to other locations, doesn’t
matter if on the same hadoop cluster or multiple. This is a simple piece of
code
```
destPaths.foreach(path =>
Try(spark.read.parquet(sourceOutputPath).write.mode(SaveMode.Overwrite).parquet(path))
match {
//log failure or success
}
```
However this stage - read from sourceOutput and write to different
locations - is failing in Spark, despite all other stages succeeding,
including the heavy duty logic. And the data is not too big to handle for
spark.
Only bumping memoryOverhead, and also repartitioning output to more
partitions, 40 precisely (when it failed, we partitioned the output to 20
after logic is finished but before writing to HDFS) have made the
read&write stage succeed.
Not understanding how spark read&write stage can experience OOM issues.
Hoping to shed some light on why.

Re: Out of memory HDFS Read and Write
Posted by Chris Teoh <ch...@gmail.com>.
Does it work for just a single path input and single output?
Is the destPath a collection that is sitting on the driver?

Re: Out of memory HDFS Read and Write
Posted by Sumedh Wale <sw...@tibco.com.INVALID>.
Parquet reads in Spark need lots of tempory heap memory due to
ColumnVectors and write block size. See a similar issue:
https://jira.snappydata.io/browse/SNAP-3111
In addition writes too consume significant amount of heap due to
parquet.block.size. One solution is to reduce the spark.executor.cores in
such a job (note the approx heap calculation noted in the ticket) to reduce
concurrent use and also
reduce spark.sql.files.maxPartitionBytes/parquet.block.size to reduce
overhead of reads and writes. Other solution is increasing executor heap.
Or use off-heap configuration with Spark 2.4 which will remove the pressure
for reads but not for writes.

sumedh

Re: Out of memory HDFS Read and Write
Posted by Ruijing Li <li...@gmail.com>.
@Chris destPaths is just a Seq[String] that holds the paths we wish to copy
the output to. Even if the collection only holds one path, it does not
work. However, the job runs fine if we don’t copy the output. The pipeline
succeeds in read input -> perform logic as dataframe -> write output. As
for your second question, I’m not sure how spark handles it, do the
executors come back to the driver to read or they have their own copy? I
don’t see any driver issues, but I will try experimenting on making that
Seq into a Dataset[String] instead if it helps.
@Sumedh That issue seems interesting to me. I need to dive into it further.
From a quick glance, that issue describes large parquet files, but our data
is rather small. Additionally, as described above, our pipeline can run
fine with given resources if it read input -> perform logic as dataframe ->
write output, but fails on additional reads&writes. It seems the jira
describes our job should fail or see issues at the start. Lastly, I found
increasing off-heap helped more than increasing heap size for executor
(executor.memoryOverhead vs executor.memory) but we use spark 2.3.
