Brock Noland commented on HIVE-7540: ------------------------------------ Hi [~lirui], It seems this related to serializing a closure as opposed to data. I talked with [~sandyr] and it seems that using Writable serialization is probably difficult/impossible. It looks like the Spark folks have also tried using Kryo to [serialize closures|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spark-dev/201405.mbox/%3CCAPh_B=Z3mNZp4A=B3M9TnQqe6n+foB6fQSmLEkVwB+mUbb=a...@mail.gmail.com%3E]. Can you try creating a class HiveBytesWritable which extends from BytesWritable and implements Serializable and then transform the objects into that class before the soryByKey? > NotSerializableException encountered when using sortByKey transformation > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-7540 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7540 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Spark > Environment: Spark-1.0.1 > Reporter: Rui Li > > This exception is thrown when sortByKey is used as the shuffle transformation > between MapWork and ReduceWork: > {quote} > org.apache.spark.SparkException: Job aborted due to stage failure: Task not > serializable: java.io.NotSerializableException: > org.apache.hadoop.io.BytesWritable > at > org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$failJobAndIndependentStages(DAGScheduler.scala:1049) > at > org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler$$anonfun$abortStage$1.apply(DAGScheduler.scala:1033) > at > org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler$$anonfun$abortStage$1.apply(DAGScheduler.scala:1031) > at > scala.collection.mutable.ResizableArray$class.foreach(ResizableArray.scala:59) > at scala.collection.mutable.ArrayBuffer.foreach(ArrayBuffer.scala:47) > at > org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.abortStage(DAGScheduler.scala:1031) > at > org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$submitMissingTasks(DAGScheduler.scala:772) > at > org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$submitStage(DAGScheduler.scala:715) > at > org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler$$anonfun$org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$submitStage$4.apply(DAGScheduler.scala:719) > at > org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler$$anonfun$org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$submitStage$4.apply(DAGScheduler.scala:718) > at scala.collection.immutable.List.foreach(List.scala:318) > at > org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$submitStage(DAGScheduler.scala:718) > at > org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.handleJobSubmitted(DAGScheduler.scala:699) > … > {quote} > The root cause is that the RangePartitioner used by sortByKey contains > rangeBounds: Array[BytesWritable], which is considered not serializable in > spark. > A workaround to this issue is to set the number of partitions to 1 when > calling sortByKey, in which case the rangeBounds will be just an empty array. > NO PRECOMMIT TESTS.
