I'm receiving an error and from related questions I've found on here, the answer very well may be increasing the partition number. Where I'm stuck is actually implementing the solution.

Three questions:

(A) Do I need to go back to when I instantiated my spark context and define the partition number there? Example code would be appreciated.

(B) Better yet, can I increase partitions "in place"? Some lines of code took quite a while to execute; I'd like to avoid starting over if possible.

(C) Perhaps I should have asked this first; is increasing the partition number the appropriate solution to the error below?

users = r.select('user_id').distinct().collect()

And here's what I've tried so far, triggering the same error as above:

r2 = r.repartition(4000)
users = r2.select('user_id').distinct().collect()
  • The error log is truncated, can you show the full log? It may be worth checking the log at the executor level as well if the exception occurs in Python. – cylim Nov 21 '19 at 09:55

4000 partitions is probably a way too high for your cluster. Then you perform a collect() over which is a task done on the Master Node (bottleneck). Using a wide batch a small partitions is not a good idea. The parallel processing is not optimal.

Question A:

Yes, it's possible and recommended.

spark.sql.shuffle.partitions

What is the difference between spark.sql.shuffle.partitions and spark.default.parallelism?

Question B:

The number of partitions should be a equal or a multiple (max x 2 or x 3) of the sum of the number of cores available on your cluster executors. The spark documentation recommend a size of partition upper than 128 MB.

Question C:

Regarding the answer B, it's not.
