What might cause a connection issue with Spark external shuffle service?

I'm running a Spark job on dataproc 1.4. with external shuffle service.

Some details to follow up on the comments :

  • The cluster doesn't use preemptible VMs
  • Autoscaling is off on this cluster and no manual scale down happened.

The job fails with the error below.

What might be the cause ?

It seems the error below is in fact a consequence of this one (7337 is the default port of the external shuffle service). It reinforces the hypothesis of @dagang : the Spark shuffle service may be overloaded.

"Connection to xxx:7337 has been quiet for 120000 ms while there are outstanding requests. Assuming connection is dead; please adjust spark.network.timeout if this is wrong."

The number of partitions is already minimized. To give an idea, there are 30,000 partitions and the cluster has 100 nodes.

So I'm thinking about 3 ways to mitigate the issue

  1. Adding more nodes in the cluster, so each shuffle service will have fewer work to do
  2. Stopping using the external shuffle service (as suggested here : https://cloud.google.com/architecture/hadoop/migrating-apache-spark-jobs-to-cloud-dataproc)
  3. Increasing the configuration of spark.network.timeout

What do you think ?

Clusters with preemptible VMs or an autoscaling policy may receive FetchFailedException when workers are preempted or removed before they finish serving shuffle data to reducers.

Possible causes and fixes:

  • Preemptible worker VMs were reclaimed or non-preemptible worker VMs were removed by the autoscaler. Solution: Use Enhanced Flexibility Mode to make secondary workers safely preemptible or scalable.
  • Executor or mapper crashed due to OutOfMemory error. Solution: increase the memory of executor or mapper.
  • The Spark shuffle service may be overloaded. Solution: decrease the number of job partitions.

See more details in this doc.
