Hi, I am curious about garbage collect on an object which gets parallelized. Say if we have a really large array (say 40GB in ram) that we want to parallelize across our machines.
I have the following function: def doSomething(): RDD[Double] = { val reallyBigArray = Array[Double[(some really big value) sc.parallelize(reallyBigArray) } Theoretically, will reallyBigArray be marked for GC? Or will reallyBigArray not be GC'd because parallelize somehow has a reference on reallyBigArray? -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/how-garbage-collection-works-on-parallelize-tp25926.html Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@spark.apache.org
