I want to carry out a join of a large Spark dataframe with a comparatively small dataframe












0














I am joining a Spark dataframe with 23 Million records with a dataframe having 0.5 Million records. The Broadcast join doesn't seem feasible as the smaller table won't fit into the memory to be distributed over all workers. Whenever I carry out the join, Spark halts at the shuffle task and doesn't continue. How should I go on with the join?

  • How many partitions do you have for your data? How long did you wait (as in an hour or so)? Just want to make sure it really halts and it's not just really slow :)

  • @Frank - The bigger dataframe had 400 partitions and the smaller one has 40 partitions. I waited for 2 hours or more but after that it threw an error that "Not able to write rows" and RemoteException. The error was that the data was not able to be written to datanodes.

  • @Frank - Can Repartitioning help with this case ?

  • How many CPU cores do you have where you execute your Spark program on? Also see stackoverflow.com/questions/35800795/… and spark.apache.org/docs/latest/tuning.html on this.
