Do you mean in-memory processing? It works fine if all partitions are small. But when some partition don’t fit in memory, it will cause OOM.

Would it make sense to add a “sortWithinPartitions” for RDD? 2, In “aggregateByKey”/”reduceByKey”, I want to do some special operation (like aggregator compression) after local aggregation on each partitions. A similar case may be: compute ‘ApproximatePercentile’ for different keys by ”reduceByKey”, it may be helpful if ‘QuantileSummaries#compress’ is called before network communication. So I wonder if it is useful to add a ‘aggregateWithinPartitions’ for RDD? Regards, Ruifeng
