There are three main features in Adaptive Execution, including auto setting the shuffle partition number, optimizing join strategy at runtime and handling skewed join. These features can be enabled separately. To start with Adaptive Exection on Spark 2.2, please build branch AdaptiveJoin3 and at least set spark.sql.adaptive.enabled to true. To test Adaptive Execution on Spark 2.3, please use branch ae-2.3-07.
An Engilish version design doc is available on google doc. A Chinese version blog is available on CSDN that introduces the features and benchmark results. SPARK-23128 is the Jira for contributing this work to Apache Spark.
Auto Setting The Shuffle Partition Number
Property Name
Default
Meaning
spark.sql.adaptive.enabled
false
When true, enable adaptive query execution.
spark.sql.adaptive.minNumPostShufflePartitions
1
The minimum number of post-shuffle partitions used in adaptive execution. This can be used to control the minimum parallelism.
spark.sql.adaptive.maxNumPostShufflePartitions
500
The maximum number of post-shuffle partitions used in adaptive execution. This is also used as the initial shuffle partition number so please set it to an reasonable value.
The target post-shuffle row count of a task. This only takes effect if row count information is collected.
Optimizing Join Strategy at Runtime
Property Name
Default
Meaning
spark.sql.adaptive.join.enabled
true
When true and spark.sql.adaptive.enabled is enabled, a better join strategy is determined at runtime.
spark.sql.adaptiveBroadcastJoinThreshold
equals to spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold
Configures the maximum size in bytes for a table that will be broadcast to all worker nodes when performing a join in adaptive exeuction mode. If not set, it equals to spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold.
Handling Skewed Join
Property Name
Default
Meaning
spark.sql.adaptive.skewedJoin.enabled
false
When true and spark.sql.adaptive.enabled is enabled, a skewed join is automatically handled at runtime.
spark.sql.adaptive.skewedPartitionFactor
10
A partition is considered as a skewed partition if its size is larger than this factor multiple the median partition size and also larger than spark.sql.adaptive.skewedPartitionSizeThreshold, or if its row count is larger than this factor multiple the median row count and also larger than spark.sql.adaptive.skewedPartitionRowCountThreshold.
spark.sql.adaptive.skewedPartitionSizeThreshold
67108864
Configures the minimum size in bytes for a partition that is considered as a skewed partition in adaptive skewed join.
