             Summary: TaskMetrics._updatedBlockStatuses uses a lot of memory
                 Key: SPARK-20923
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20923
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Thomas Graves


The driver appears to use a ton of memory in certain cases to store the task 
metrics updated block status'.  For instance I had a user reading data form 
hive and caching it.  The # of tasks to read was around 62,000, they were using 
1000 executors and it ended up caching a couple TB's of data.  The driver kept 
running out of memory. 

I investigated and it looks like there was 5GB of a 10GB heap being used up by 
the TaskMetrics._updatedBlockStatuses because there are a lot of blocks.

The updatedBlockStatuses was already removed from the task end event under 
SPARK-20084.  I don't see anything else that seems to be using this.  Anybody 
know if I missed something?

 If its not being used we should remove it, otherwise we need to figure out a 
better way of doing it so it doesn't use so much memory.
