If buffer in
MemoryStore
'sSerializedMemoryEntry
is allocated off-heap, currentclear()
action doesn't dispose them. These off-heap memory, though, will be freed when process ends, but for application that need to stop and restartSparkContext
serveral times, this may cause some kind of off-heap memory leak.This PR try to dispose off-heap memory by itself when clearing
MemoryStore
.How was this patch tested?
Tested manually by running code written myself, while observing system resources monitor to verify off-heap memory allocation and free behavior.
I have tried to add a unit test, but it's hard to find a way counting off-heap memory allocated by Unsafe API.
