Persist Spark DataFrame/RDD

Options

Storage level

Defines the storage level to use for persisting the incoming Spark DataFrame/RDD. The available levels are:

• Memory only:
  Store DataFrame/RDD as deserialized Java objects in the JVM. If the DataFrame/RDD does not fit in memory, some partitions will not be cached and will be recomputed on the fly each time they're needed. This is the default level.
• Memory and disk: Store DataFrame/RDD as deserialized Java objects in the JVM. If the DataFrame/RDD does not fit in memory, store the partitions that don't fit on disk, and read them from there when they're needed.
• Memory only serialized: Store DataFrame/RDD as serialized Java objects (one byte array per partition). This is generally more space-efficient than deserialized objects, especially when using a fast serializer, but more CPU-intensive to read.
• Memory and disk serialized: Similar to MEMORY_ONLY_SER, but spill partitions that don't fit in memory to disk instead of recomputing them on the fly each time they're needed.
• Disk only:Store the DataFrame/RDD partitions only on disk.
• Off heap (experimental): Store DataFrame/RDD in serialized format in Tachyon. Compared to MEMORY_ONLY_SER, OFF_HEAP reduces garbage collection overhead and allows executors to be smaller and to share a pool of memory, making it attractive in environments with large heaps or multiple concurrent applications. Furthermore, as the DataFrames/RDDs reside in Tachyon, the crash of an executor does not lead to losing the in-memory cache. In this mode, the memory in Tachyon is discardable. Thus, Tachyon does not attempt to reconstruct a block that it evicts from memory.
• Custom: Allows you to define your own persistence level using the custom storage parameters.

Custom Storage Parameter

• Use disk: If DataFrame/RDD should be cached on disk.
• Use memory: If DataFrame/RDD should be cached in memory.
• Use off heap: If DataFrame/RDD should be cached off heap. This is an experimental option.
• Deserialized: If DataFrame/RDD should be cached in deserialized form.
• Replication: The number of cluster nodes the DataFrame/RDD should be cached on.
