Why spark streaming executors start at different time? - apache-spark

I'm using Spark streaming 1.6 which uses kafka as a source
My input arguments are as follows:
num-executors 5
num-cores 4
batch Interval 10 sec
maxRate 600
blockInterval 350 ms
Why does some of my executors start later than another ??

That's not executors' start time, but tasks' start time.
This is most likely due to locality scheduling. Spark delayed the start of a task to find the best executor to run that task on. Check the configuration "spark.locality.wait" in Spark's documentation for further details.

Spark Sql Job optimization

I have a job which consist around 9 sql statement to pull data from hive and write back to hive db. It is currently running for 3hrs which seems too long considering spark abitlity to process data. The application launchs total 11 stages.
I did some analysis using Spark UI and found below grey areas which can be improved:
Stage 8 in Job 5 has shuffle output of 1.5 TB.
Time gap between job 4 and job 5 is 20 Mins. I read about this time gap and found spark perform IO out of spark job which reflects as gap between two jobs which can be seen in driver logs.
We have a cluster of 800 nodes with restricted resources for each queue and I am using below conf to submit job:
-- num-executor 200
-- executor-core 1
-- executor-memory 6G
-- deployment mode client
Attaching Image of UI as well.
Now my questions are:
Where can I find driver log for this job?
In image, I see a long list of Executor added which I sum is more than 200 but in Executor tab, number is exactly 200. Any explation for this?
Out of all the stages, only one stage has TASK around 35000 but rest of stages has 200 tasks only. Should I increase number of executor or should I go for dynamic allocation facility of spark?
Below are the thought processes that may guide you to some extent:
Is it necessary to have one core per executor? The executor need not be fat always. You can have more cores in one executor. it is a trade-off between creating a slim vs fat executors.
Configure shuffle partition parameter spark.sql.shuffle.partitions
Ensure while reading data from Hive, you are using Sparksession (basically HiveContext). This will pull the data into Spark memory from HDFS and schema information from Metastore of Hive.
Yes, Dynamic allocation of resources is a feature that helps in allocating the right set of resources. It is better than having fixed allocation.

How to run multiple spark streaming batch jobs at the same time?

I have been using spark streaming to process data in Spark 2.1.0.
9 receivers receive data in 10 second intervals by streaming.
The average processed time is about 10 seconds since my submitted the streaming application. However, the queued batches delayed more than one day.
Is the queue in the driver? Or is it in each receiver executer?
And in Active Batch processing, only one real data processing batch is processed except 9 receivers. So there are always only 10 batches running.
I am inquiring how to increase the number of active batches processing data.
And there is only one Streaming Batch job at a time. I set spark.scheduler.mode to FAIR in SparkConf and set the schedule pool to fair, but the batch job only runs one at a time.
In the spark job scheduling guide, the fair pool is supposed to operate as a FIFO in the same pool. Is this right?
How to run multiple spark streaming batch jobs at the same time?
spark streaming run spark-yarn client mode
8 node cluster, 1 node : 32core, 128G
executor_memory: 6g
executor_cores: 4
driver-memory: 4g
sparkConf.set("spark.scheduler.mode", "FAIR")
ssc.sparkContext.setLocalProperty("spark.scheduler.pool",
"production")
production is FAIR pool
sparkConf.set("spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled", false)

Spark concurrency performance issue Vs Presto

We are benchmarking spark with alluxio and presto with alluxio. For evaluating the performance we took 5 different queries (with some joins, group by and sort) and ran this on a dataset 650GB in orc.
Spark execution environment is setup in such a way that we have a ever running spark context and we are submitting queries using REST api (Jetty server). We are not considering first batch execution time for this load test as its taking little more time because of task deserialization and all.
What we observed while evaluating is that when we ran individual queries or even all these 5 queries executed concurrently, spark is performing very well compared to presto and is finishing all the execution in half the time than of presto.
But for actual load test, we executed 10 batches (one batch is this 5 queries submitted at the same time) with a batch interval of 60 sec. At this point presto is performing a lot better than spark. Presto finished all job in ~11 mins and spark is taking ~20 mins to complete all the task.
We tried different configurations to improve spark concurrency like
Using 20 pools with equal resource allocation and submitting jobs in a round robin fashion.
Tried using one FAIR pool and submitted all jobs to this default pool and let spark decide on resource allocations
Tuning some spark properties like spark.locality.wait and some other memory related spark properties.
All tasks are NODE_LOCAL (we replicated data in alluxio to make this happen)
Also tried playing arround with executor memory allocation, like tried with 35 small executors (5 cores, 30G) and also tried with (60core, 200G) executors.
But all are resulting in same execution time.
We used dstat on all the workers to see what was happening when spark was executing task and we could see no or minimal IO or network activity . And CPU was alway at 95%+ (Looks like its bounded on CPU) . (Saw almost similar dstat out with presto)
Can someone suggest me something which we can try to achieve similar or better results than presto?
And any explanation why presto is performing well with concurrency than spark ? We observed that presto's 1st batch is taking more time than the succeeding batches . Is presto cacheing some data in memory which spark is missing ? Or presto's resource management/ execution plan is better than spark ?
Note: Both clusters are running with same hardware configuration

spark web UI notations

I am running the sample job on my end and the spark job UI says the total uptime is 26 sec but when i add up the duration column for jobs it is only around 17-18 sec .Which one should i rely on in order to determine the total time to run the execution logic of my job .I am not concerned about the time ot takes to start and stop the cluster .Is 26 sec including that time ,is thats the case how do i ignore the time to start the and stop the cluster and get the final execution time for my logic .
Spark job UI
Also my spark configuration looks like this :
val conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("Metrics").setMaster("spark://master:7077").set("spark.executor.memory", "5g").set("spark.cores.max", "4").set("spark.sql.warehouse.dir", "file:///c:/tmp/spark-warehouse")set("spark.executor.memory", "5g")
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
val sqlContext = new org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext(sc)
I have 2 physical core and 2 virtual core machine i.e 4 logical core .I am trying to use all the core by setting it to 4 core in the configuration but for some reason only 1 executor is used to run the job .Can somebody explain me the reason as to why only 1 executor is spawned and what is the relation between a core and the executor in the spark world .I am new to spark so any help would be great.
Executor for the job here
A single executor can use multiple threads like in your case. You have one executor with 4 cores.
Each executor thread can process a single partition at the time so your cluster can process four partitions concurrently.
In a small setup like this there is no reason to start multiple executor JVM but if you can use spark.executor.cores to configure how many cores a single executor can use.

Spark Streaming Job Keeps growing memory

I am running spark v 1.6.1 on a single machine in standalone mode, having 64GB RAM and 16cores.
I have created five worker instances to create five executor as in standalone mode, there cannot be more than one executor in one worker node.
Configuration:
SPARK_WORKER_INSTANCES 5
SPARK_WORKER_CORE 1
SPARK_MASTER_OPTS "-Dspark.deploy.default.Cores=5"
all other configurations are default in spark_env.sh
I am running a spark streaming direct kafka job at an interval of 1 min, which takes data from kafka and after some aggregation write the data to mongo.
Problems:
when I start master and slave, it starts one master process and five worker processes. each only consume about 212 MB of ram.when i submit the job , it again creates 5 executor processes and 1 job process and also the memory uses grows to 8GB in total and keeps growing over time (slowly) also when there is no data to process.
we are unpersisting cached rdd at the end also set spark.cleaner.ttl to 600. but still memory is growing.
one more thing, I have seen the merged SPARK-1706, then also why i am unable to create multiple executor within a worker.and also in spark_env.sh file , setting any configuration related to executor comes under YARN only mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
