Spark 100TB sort record using Netty

[Reynold Xin]

Hi Netty group,

Just want to keep you guys posted about this. We recently participated in the Sort Benchmark using the latest version of Spark. Netty played a nontrivial part in the performance improvements!

Norman / Trustin: Thanks for fixing the bugs I reported so quickly and the feedback on our code!  In the Spark project, we are switching data plane (shuffle and broadcast) to Netty, and possibly control plane messaging in the future too.

Hi all,

We are excited to announce that the benchmark entry has been reviewed by the Sort Benchmark committee and Spark has officially won the Daytona GraySort contest in sorting 100TB of data.

Our entry tied with a UCSD research team building high performance systems and we jointly set a new world record. This is an important milestone for the project, as it validates the amount of engineering work put into Spark by the community. 

As Matei said, "For an engine to scale from these multi-hour petabyte batch jobs down to 100-millisecond streaming and interactive queries is quite uncommon, and it's thanks to all of you folks that we are able to make this happen."

Hi folks,

I interrupt your regularly scheduled user / dev list to bring you some pretty cool news for the project, which is that we've been able to use Spark to break MapReduce's 100 TB and 1 PB sort records, sorting data 3x faster on 10x fewer nodes. There's a detailed writeup at http://databricks.com/blog/2014/10/10/spark-breaks-previous-large-scale-sort-record.html. Summary: while Hadoop MapReduce held last year's 100 TB world record by sorting 100 TB in 72 minutes on 2100 nodes, we sorted it in 23 minutes on 206 nodes; and we also scaled up to sort 1 PB in 234 minutes.

I want to thank Reynold Xin for leading this effort over the past few weeks, along with Parviz Deyhim, Xiangrui Meng, Aaron Davidson and Ali Ghodsi. In addition, we'd really like to thank Amazon's EC2 team for providing the machines to make this possible. Finally, this result would of course not be possible without the many many other contributions, testing and feature requests from throughout the community.

For an engine to scale from these multi-hour petabyte batch jobs down to 100-millisecond streaming and interactive queries is quite uncommon, and it's thanks to all of you folks that we are able to make this happen.
