Re: [PR] [SPARK-21113][CORE] Read ahead input stream to amortize disk IO cost … [spark]

cxzl25 commented on PR #18317:
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/18317#issuecomment-2915373677

   If we generate a large number of spill files, using ReadAhead's Task in `UnsafeExternalSorter` is easier to fail and OOM. By default, each spill file requires a 2MB in-heap buffer and creates a thread.
   Perhaps ReadAhead is better and more stable for `BytesToBytesMap`.
   
   Should we introduce a threshold configuration to control whether UnsafeExternalSorter uses ReadAhead to reduce memory usage on the executor?  @mridulm @cloud-fan
