IndexShuffleBlockResolver¶

IndexShuffleBlockResolver is a ShuffleBlockResolver that manages shuffle block data and uses shuffle index files for faster shuffle data access.

Creating Instance¶

IndexShuffleBlockResolver takes the following to be created:

• SparkConf
• BlockManager

IndexShuffleBlockResolver is created when:

• SortShuffleManager is created
• LocalDiskShuffleExecutorComponents is requested to initializeExecutor

getStoredShuffles¶

getStoredShuffles(): Seq[ShuffleBlockInfo]

getStoredShuffles is part of the MigratableResolver abstraction.

getStoredShuffles...FIXME

putShuffleBlockAsStream¶

putShuffleBlockAsStream(
  blockId: BlockId,
  serializerManager: SerializerManager): StreamCallbackWithID

putShuffleBlockAsStream is part of the MigratableResolver abstraction.

putShuffleBlockAsStream...FIXME

getMigrationBlocks¶

getMigrationBlocks(
  shuffleBlockInfo: ShuffleBlockInfo): List[(BlockId, ManagedBuffer)]

getMigrationBlocks is part of the MigratableResolver abstraction.

Writing Shuffle Index and Data Files¶

writeIndexFileAndCommit(
  shuffleId: Int,
  mapId: Long,
  lengths: Array[Long],
  dataTmp: File): Unit

writeIndexFileAndCommit finds the index and data files for the input shuffleId and mapId.

writeIndexFileAndCommit creates a temporary file for the index file (in the same directory) and writes offsets (as the moving sum of the input lengths starting from 0 to the final offset at the end for the end of the output file).

writeIndexFileAndCommit...FIXME (Review me)

writeIndexFileAndCommit <> for the input shuffleId and mapId.

writeIndexFileAndCommit <> (aka consistency check).

If the consistency check fails, it means that another attempt for the same task has already written the map outputs successfully and so the input dataTmp and temporary index files are deleted (as no longer correct).

If the consistency check succeeds, the existing index and data files are deleted (if they exist) and the temporary index and data files become "official", i.e. renamed to their final names.

In case of any IO-related exception, writeIndexFileAndCommit throws a IOException with the messages:

fail to rename file [indexTmp] to [indexFile]

or

fail to rename file [dataTmp] to [dataFile]

writeIndexFileAndCommit is used when:

• LocalDiskShuffleMapOutputWriter is requested to commitAllPartitions
• LocalDiskSingleSpillMapOutputWriter is requested to transferMapSpillFile

Removing Shuffle Index and Data Files¶

removeDataByMap(
  shuffleId: Int,
  mapId: Long): Unit

removeDataByMap finds and deletes the shuffle data file (for the input shuffleId and mapId) followed by finding and deleting the shuffle data index file.

removeDataByMap is used when:

• SortShuffleManager is requested to unregister a shuffle (and remove a shuffle from a shuffle system)

Creating Shuffle Block Index File¶

getIndexFile(
  shuffleId: Int,
  mapId: Long,
  dirs: Option[Array[String]] = None): File

getIndexFile creates a ShuffleIndexBlockId.

With dirs local directories defined, getIndexFile places the index file of the ShuffleIndexBlockId (by the name) in the local directories (with the spark.diskStore.subDirectories).

Otherwise, with no local directories, getIndexFile requests the DiskBlockManager (of the BlockManager) to get the data file.

getIndexFile is used when:

• IndexShuffleBlockResolver is requested to getBlockData, removeDataByMap, putShuffleBlockAsStream, getMigrationBlocks, writeIndexFileAndCommit
• FallbackStorage is requested to copy

Creating Shuffle Block Data File¶

getDataFile(
  shuffleId: Int,
  mapId: Long): File // (1)
getDataFile(
  shuffleId: Int,
  mapId: Long,
  dirs: Option[Array[String]]): File

1. dirs is None (undefined)

getDataFile creates a ShuffleDataBlockId.

With dirs local directories defined, getDataFile places the data file of the ShuffleDataBlockId (by the name) in the local directories (with the spark.diskStore.subDirectories).

Otherwise, with no local directories, getDataFile requests the DiskBlockManager (of the BlockManager) to get the data file.

getDataFile is used when:

• IndexShuffleBlockResolver is requested to getBlockData, removeDataByMap, putShuffleBlockAsStream, getMigrationBlocks, writeIndexFileAndCommit
• LocalDiskShuffleMapOutputWriter is created
• LocalDiskSingleSpillMapOutputWriter is requested to transferMapSpillFile
• FallbackStorage is requested to copy

Creating ManagedBuffer to Read Shuffle Block Data File¶

getBlockData(
  blockId: BlockId,
  dirs: Option[Array[String]]): ManagedBuffer

getBlockData is part of the ShuffleBlockResolver abstraction.

getBlockData...FIXME

Checking Consistency of Shuffle Index and Data Files¶

checkIndexAndDataFile(
  index: File,
  data: File,
  blocks: Int): Array[Long]

checkIndexAndDataFile first checks if the size of the input index file is exactly the input blocks multiplied by 8.

checkIndexAndDataFile returns null when the numbers, and hence the shuffle index and data files, don't match.

checkIndexAndDataFile reads the shuffle index file and converts the offsets into lengths of each block.

checkIndexAndDataFile makes sure that the size of the input shuffle data file is exactly the sum of the block lengths.

checkIndexAndDataFile returns the block lengths if the numbers match, and null otherwise.

TransportConf¶

IndexShuffleBlockResolver creates a TransportConf (for shuffle module) when created.

transportConf is used in getMigrationBlocks and getBlockData.
