Hi Maziyar, Mich Do we have any ticket to track this? Any idea if this is going to be fixed in 3.1.2?

I won't be able to defend this request by telling Spark users the previous major release was and still is more stable than the latest major release ... With the benefit of hindsight version 3.1.1 was released recently and the definition of stable (from a practical point of view) does not come into it yet. That is perhaps the reason why some vendors like Cloudera are few releases away from the latest version. In production what matters most is the predictability and stability. You are not doing anything wrong by rolling it back and awaiting further clarification and resolution on the error.

That's being said, I won't be able to defend this request by telling Spark users the previous major release was and still is more stable than the latest major release, something that made everything default to 3.1.1 (pyspark, downloads, etc.). I'll see if I can open a ticket for this as well.

Unless there is an overriding reason why you have to use 3.1.1, you can set it aside and try it when you have other use cases. For now I guess you can carry on with 3.0.1 as BAU.

The 3.1.1 is still 4-5 times slower than 3.0.2 at least for that piece of code. I will do more investigation to see how it does with other stuff, especially anything without .transform or Spark ML related functions, but the small code I provided on any dataset that is big enough to take a minute to finish will show you the difference going from 3.0.2 to 3.1.1 by magnitude of 4-5: .config("spark.sql.adaptive.coalescePartitions.enabled", "false") .config("spark.sql.adaptive.enabled", "false") On 8 Apr 2021, at 16:47, Mich Talebzadeh <mich.talebza...@gmail.com<mailto:mich.talebza...@gmail.com>> wrote: spark 3.1.1 I enabled the parameter spark_session.conf.set("spark.sql.adaptive.enabled", "true") to see it effects in yarn cluster mode, i.e spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode client with 4 executors it crashed the cluster. I then reduced the number of executors to 2 and this time it ran OK but the performance is worse I assume it adds some overhead?

The reason that config cannot be the reason (at least not alone) it's because my comparison is between Spark 3.0.2 and Spark 3.1.1. This config has been set to true the beginning of 3.0.0 and hasn't changed: - https://spark.apache.org/docs/3.1.1/sql-performance-tuning.html#adaptive-query-execution - https://spark.apache.org/docs/3.0.2/sql-performance-tuning.html#adaptive-query-execution - https://spark.apache.org/docs/3.0.1/sql-performance-tuning.html#adaptive-query-execution - https://spark.apache.org/docs/3.0.0/sql-performance-tuning.html#adaptive-query-execution So it can't be a good thing for 3.0.2 and a bad thing for 3.1.1, unfortunately the issue is some where else.

Russell answered with what is almost surely the correct answer, that it's AQE. In toy cases it isn't always a win. Disable it if you need to. It's not a problem per se in 3.1; AQE speeds up more realistic workloads in general.

Not sure what it is, but until further notice, I will advise our users to not use Spark/PySpark 3.1.1 locally or in Databricks. (there are other optimizations, maybe it's not noticeable, but this is such a simple code and it can become a bottleneck quickly in larger pipelines) ________________________________ Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive<http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/> at Nabble.com<http://nabble.com/>.
