performance - DataFrame / Dataset groupBy 行为/优化

Question

假设我们有df由以下列组成的 DataFrame：

姓名、姓氏、尺寸、宽度、长度、重量

现在我们要执行几个操作，例如我们要创建几个包含大小和宽度数据的 DataFrame。

val df1 = df.groupBy("surname").agg( sum("size") )
val df2 = df.groupBy("surname").agg( sum("width") )

如您所见，其他列（例如 Length）并未在任何地方使用。Spark 是否足够聪明，可以在洗牌阶段之前删除冗余列，还是随身携带？威尔运行：

val dfBasic = df.select("surname", "size", "width")

在分组之前以某种方式影响性能？

Answer 1

是的，它“足够聪明”。groupBy在 aDataFrame上执行的操作与groupBy在普通 RDD 上执行的操作不同。在您描述的场景中，根本不需要移动原始数据。让我们创建一个小例子来说明：

val df = sc.parallelize(Seq(
   ("a", "foo", 1), ("a", "foo", 3), ("b", "bar", 5), ("b", "bar", 1)
)).toDF("x", "y", "z")

df.groupBy("x").agg(sum($"z")).explain

// == Physical Plan ==
// *HashAggregate(keys=[x#148], functions=[sum(cast(z#150 as bigint))])
// +- Exchange hashpartitioning(x#148, 200)
//    +- *HashAggregate(keys=[x#148], functions=[partial_sum(cast(z#150 as bigint))])
//       +- *Project [_1#144 AS x#148, _3#146 AS z#150]
//          +- *SerializeFromObject [staticinvoke(class org.apache.spark.unsafe.types.UTF8String, StringType, fromString, assertnotnull(input[0, scala.Tuple3, true])._1, true, false) AS _1#144, staticinvoke(class org.apache.spark.unsafe.types.UTF8String, StringType, fromString, assertnotnull(input[0, scala.Tuple3, true])._2, true, false) AS _2#145, assertnotnull(input[0, scala.Tuple3, true])._3 AS _3#146]
//             +- Scan ExternalRDDScan[obj#143]

如您所见，第一阶段是仅保留所需列的投影。下一个数据在本地聚合，最后在全球范围内传输和聚合。如果您使用 Spark <= 1.4，您会得到稍微不同的答案输出，但一般结构应该完全相同。

最后，显示上述描述的 DAG 可视化描述了实际工作：

同样，Dataset.groupByKey后面的reduceGroups, 包含 map-side ( ObjectHashAggregatewith partial_reduceaggregator) 和 reduce-side ( ObjectHashAggregatewith reduceaggregatorreduction)：

case class Foo(x: String, y: String, z: Int)

val ds = df.as[Foo]
ds.groupByKey(_.x).reduceGroups((x, y) => x.copy(z = x.z + y.z)).explain

然而，其他方法KeyValueGroupedDataset可能与RDD.groupByKey. 例如mapGroups(or flatMapGroups) 不使用部分聚合。

ds.groupByKey(_.x)
  .mapGroups((_, iter) => iter.reduce((x, y) => x.copy(z = x.z + y.z)))
  .explain
