Topic #: 5
Spill occurs as a result of executing various wide transformations. However, diagnosing spill requires one to proactively look for key indicators.
Where in the Spark UI are two of the primary indicators that a partition is spilling to disk?
In Apache Spark's UI, indicators of data spilling to disk during the execution of wide transformations can be found in the Stage's detail screen and the Query's detail screen. These screens provide detailed metrics about each stage of a Spark job, including information about memory usage and spill data. If a task is spilling data to disk, it indicates that the data being processed exceeds the available memory, causing Spark to spill data to disk to free up memory. This is an important performance metric as excessive spill can significantly slow down the processing.
