Although it can bring some benefits, but there are 2 disadvantages for remote=false as I can think of
1. The interpreter log would mix with zeppelin server log. This may cause diagnosing difficult, markdown might be OK, but I am afraid it would be a problem for jdbc interpreter. 2. Extra memory consumption. This might be a problem for jdbc interpreter when it gets large amount of data from database. moon soo Lee <m...@apache.org>于2017年5月8日周一 下午5:27写道: > The option is legacy and being used in few unit tests as far as i remember. > > I think we can either try completely remove this code (to keep code base > simple) or we can try re-introduce this feature (to optimize resource > usage, less restriction on data sharing between interpreters). > > I think interpreters like markdown, jdbc will have no big problem with > remote=false while Spark interpreter require separate JVM and remote=true > is required. > > remote=false will provide some chances to save some system resource because > it does not run separate JVM process for interpreter. > > Also communication between interpreter (through ResourcePool) can be much > faster and have less restricted on object serialization. > > So remote=false option definitely provides some advantages. > However, keeping code base for remote=false and remote=true introduces more > work. > > What do you think? > > Thanks, > moon > > On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 8:13 PM Jeff Zhang <zjf...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I see all the interpreter setting set remote of interpreter option as > true, > > and didn't find any false case in interpreter-setting.json, does anyone > > know what is the use case of remote of interpreter option is false.
