Bug: Spark Bloom Filter, others using treeAggregate can throw OutOfMemoryError
Status: Resolved | Priority: Minor | Resolution: Fixed
Created: 21/Jun/21 22:12
Affects Version/s: 3.0.3

When the Bloom filter stat function is invoked on a large dataframe that requires a BitArray of size >2GB, it will result in a {color:#555555}java.lang.OutOfMemoryError{color}. As mentioned in a similar bug, this is due to the zero value passed to treeAggrete. Irrespective of spark.serializer value, this will be serialized using JavaSerializer which has a hard limit of 2GB. Using a solution similar to SPARK-26228 and setting spark.serializer to KryoSerializer can avoid this error.

 

Steps to reproduce:

{{val df = List.range(0, 10).toDF("Id")}}{{val expectedNumItems = 2000000000L // 2 billion}}
{{val fpp = 0.03}}
{{val bf = df.stat.bloomFilter("Id", expectedNumItems, fpp)}}
