To: Ted Yu <yuzhih...@gmail.com> Cc: Benyi Wang <bewang.t...@gmail.com>, user <user@spark.apache.org>, ayan guha <guha.a...@gmail.com> So I tried to set the parquet compression codec to lzo, but hadoop does not have the lzo natives, while lz4 does included. But I could set the code to lz4, it only accepts lzo. Any solution here?

Is it LZO or LZ4? https://github.com/Cyan4973/lz4 Based on this benchmark, they differ quite a lot. On Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 9:55 PM, Ted Yu <yuzhih...@gmail.com> wrote: gzip is relatively slow. It consumes much CPU. snappy is faster. LZ4 is faster than GZIP and smaller than Snappy . Cheers On Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 7:56 PM, Gavin Yue <yue.yuany...@gmail.com> wrote: Thank you . And speaking of compression, is there big difference on performance between gzip and snappy? And why parquet is using gzip by default? Thanks.

The experience with it was not happy. I just tried query the data from each day's first and dedup with smaller set, the performance is acceptable. So I guess I will use this method. Again, could anyone give advice about: Automatically determine the number of reducers for joins and groupbys: Currently in Spark SQL, you need to control the degree of parallelism post-shuffle using “SET spark.sql.shuffle.partitions=[num_tasks];”.

One inherent problem in your approach is you always need to load either full data set or a defined number of partitions to see if the event has already come (and no gurantee it is full proof, but lead to unnecessary loading in most cases).

I noticed that in the job, there are always only 200 reducers for shuffle read, I believe it is setting in the sql shuffle parallism. In the doc, it mentions: Automatically determine the number of reducers for joins and groupbys: Currently in Spark SQL, you need to control the degree of parallelism post-shuffle using “SET spark.sql.shuffle.partitions=[num_tasks];”. What would be the ideal number for this setting? Is it based on the hardware of cluster?

It seems at least 1.4. If you use spark-sql and tungsten, you might have better performance. but spark 1.5.2 gave me a wrong result when the data was about 300~400GB, just for a simple group-by and aggregate. Did you use kyro serialization? you should have spark.shuffle.compress=true, verify it. How many tasks did you use? spark.default.parallelism=? What about this: Read the data day by day compute a bucket id from timestamp, e.g., the date and hour Write into different buckets (you probably need a special writer to write data efficiently without shuffling the data). distinct for each bucket. Because each bucket is small, spark can get it done faster than having everything in one run. I think using groupBy (userId, timestamp) might be better than distinct. I guess distinct() will compare every field.

I just parse it from Json and save as Parquet, did not change the partition. Annoyingly, every day's incoming Event data having duplicates among each other. One same event could show up in Day1 and Day2 and probably Day3. I only want to keep single Event table and each day it come so many duplicates. Is there a way I could just insert into Parquet and if duplicate found, just ignore?

The total input is only 980GB, but the shuffle write Data is about 6.2TB, then the job failed during shuffle read step, which should be another 6.2TB shuffle read. I think to Dedup, the shuffling can not be avoided. Is there anything I could do to stablize this process? Thanks.

But there so many duplicates among each day's data. I use Parquet as the data source. What I am doing now is EventDay1.unionAll(EventDay2).distinct().write.parquet("a new parquet file"). Each day's Event is stored in their own Parquet file But it failed at the stage2 which keeps losing connection to one executor. I guess this is due to the memory issue. Any suggestion how I do this efficiently? Thanks, Gavin -- Best Regards, Ayan Guha
