CACHE TABLE的能力
使用此语法,可以由用户自定义要缓存的结果集,实际上就是一个临时表,不过数据存储在Spark集群内部,由Application所分配的executors管理。
一旦定义了一个缓存表
,就可以在SQL脚本中随处引用这个表名,提高数据检索速度,同时也会资源不必要的资源开销。
用户可以通过UNCACHE TABLE
语法,显示地将这个结果集从缓存中移除。
CACHE TABLE的功能示例
示例SQL
SELECT b.id, a.country, b.city, b.tag
FROM default.tmp_tbl a
JOIN default.tmp_tbl b
ON a.city IS NOT NULL AND a.id = b.id AND a.id > 0 AND a.country = 'China'

+- Project [id#153, tag#154, city#155]
+- Filter ((id#153 > 0) AND isnotnull(id#153))
+- Scan odps du_all.tmp_tbl[id#153,tag#154,city#155,country#156] Batched: true, DataFilters: [(id#153 > 0), isnotnull(id#153)], Format: Odps, PartitionFilters: [], PushedFilters: [GreaterThan(id,0), IsNotNull(id)], ReadSchema: struct<id:int,tag:string,city:string,country:string
优化后的物理执行计划
优化后的SQL
CACHE TABLE cached_tbl AS (
SELECT * FROM default.tmp_tbl WHERE id > 0;
);
SELECT b.id, a.country, b.city, b.tag
FROM cached_tbl a
JOIN cached_tbl b
ON a.city IS NOT NULL AND a.id = b.id AND a.country = 'China'
物理执行计划
从如下的计划可以看到,BroadcastHashJoin的左、右子查询的数据都来自同一个
In-memory table
,因此只会读源表一次。

CACHE TABLE的执行流程
CACHE TABLE
语法定义了一个带有别名的,可以在Session层级共享的临时数据集,同时可以指定这些临时数据的存储模式(Memory or Disk or Mixed),简单说就是这些数据被缓存在了集群中,并被BlockManager
管理。
一旦定义了这样一个临时表
,就可以在任意的SQL中通过别名引用
,同时可以被引用任意次,而不用担心数据的重复读取,以及从来源
拉取数据的开销。
图1. 两条SQL读取同一个CACHE TABLE的结果集
*为什么不使用CTE?与CACHE TABLE有什么区别?
Spark中的CTE(Common Table Expression)语法
,仅仅用于替换相同的子查询,更像是一种Query Scope的视图(View),而不能像Hive那样可以通过配置属性hive.optimize.cte.materialize.threshold=1
实现物化子查询的能力,因此Spark只能通过CACHE TABLE
语句,显示地(不难想到,可以hacking成隐式)
缓存数据。
Spark不是可以共享Stage吗?为什么还要再在提供CACHE TABLE?
没错,Spark提供plan优化器,提供了ReuseExchangeAndSubquery
优化规则,旨在共享相同的stage(必须带有exchange算子),但很不幸的是,相同的子查询在不同的Query Scope中经过优化器优化后,往往是不相同的,例如不同的过滤条件、不同的投影剪裁等,因此也就无法共享
了。
在实际上的使用场景中,不论是CTE还是其它带有子查询的场景,我们都可以人工地合并底层stage/table scan的逻辑,然后通过CACHE TABLE
定义成一张临时表,达到共享数据的目的,自然且肯定地可以增强spark以自动化这个过程(我就做了这样的优化并在实际场景中应用了)
。
缓存RDD的代码流程分析(基于Columnar)
下图(引自中的截图)描述了RDD缓存的核心流程,不难看到Spark中RDD的缓存策略是很灵活的,不仅可以支持指定存储等级,还可以选择是否序列化存储(在序列化之前,还可以修改属性spark.sql.inMemoryColumnarStorage.compressed=true
,选择要不要对列进行压缩)。
从上图可以很清楚地看到,Spark中的RDD缓存模式是很灵活的,可以同时使用内存和磁盘,能够最大程度地保证存储性能(得益于Spark Tungsten统一内存管理模型
)。
生成RDD[ColumnarBatch]
Table Scan任务,如果要读取的字段是支持列式读写的,那么Spark默认生成一个RDD[ColumnarBatch]的实例,直接以列式格式从数据源加载数据。
生成RDD[InternalRow]
插入ColumarToRowExec/RowToColumnarExec算子
自底向上在optimizedPlan的合适位置插入行转列、列转行的物理计划结点。
由于InMemoryTableScanExec结点是不支持RDD[ColumnarBatch]作为其输入RDD的,假如child是支持列式的,那么就会在它们之间插入一个ColumarToRowExec实例,以保证InMemoryTableScanExec结点能够正常读取数据。
/**
* Apply any user defined [[ColumnarRule]]s and find the correct place to insert transitions
* to/from columnar formatted data.
*
* @param columnarRules custom columnar rules
* @param outputsColumnar whether or not the produced plan should output columnar format.

case class ApplyColumnarRulesAndInsertTransitions(

RowToColumnarExec(insertTransitions(plan, outputsColumnar = false))

columnarRules.reverse.foreach(r => postInsertPlan = r.postColumnarTransitions(postInsertPlan))
postInsertPlan
}
}

通过InMemoryRelation加载并转换RDD
当执行InMemoryTableScanExec算子时,会在compute RDD的过程中,调用InMemoryRelation::CachedRDDBuilder::cachedColumnBuffers,同时会显示地通过
RDD::persist()
方法指定持久等级,以便在触发此RDD的compute时能够正确缓存数据。

读取缓存RDD[CachedBatch]
一个RDD被显示缓存后,在SQL层面说就是生成了一个临时的物化视图;从API层面看,就是生成了一个临时的表,并新创建了一个DataFrame。
一旦当前RDD数据被缓存,所有下游RDD拉取数据时,都只会共享地读取这个被缓存的RDD,如果配置了缓存等级为MEMORY且内存充足时,此时RDD的计算就是完全基于内存,性能达到最高。
case class InMemoryTableScanExec(
attributes: Seq[Attribute],
predicates: Seq[Expression],
@transient relation: InMemoryRelation)
// 如果缓存的数据支持列式,那么就会调用此方法,以获取列式组织的数据块

// 尝试将过滤条件下推到数据缓存层,尽可能地过滤掉不需要读取的数据
val buffers = filteredCachedBatches()
relation.cacheBuilder.serializer.convertCachedBatchToColumnarBatch(
buffers,
relation.output,
attributes,
conf).map { cb =>
numOutputRows += cb.numRows()
cb
}
}
}
private val inMemoryPartitionPruningEnabled = conf.inMemoryPartitionPruning
private def filteredCachedBatches(): RDD[CachedBatch] = {
// 获取缓存的RDD[CachedBatch]对象
val buffers = relation.cacheBuilder.cachedColumnBuffers
if (inMemoryPartitionPruningEnabled) {
// 如果开启了内存缓存数据上的分区裁剪功能,则走这里,从predicates构建过滤方法,以应用到缓存的RDD上
val filterFunc = relation.cacheBuilder.serializer.buildFilter(predicates, relation.output)
buffers.mapPartitionsWithIndexInternal(filterFunc)
} else {
buffers
}
}
过滤条件下推到RDD[CachedBatch]
我们知道,Spark优化器有过滤条件下推的优化,可以将SQL中的过滤条件下沉到Table Scan算子中,以减少读取到内存的数据量。
而此时RDD[CachedBatch]可以认为就是一张表,同时也是一个带有别名的子查询,自然地,当在SQL中的某几个子查询中引用了别名且每一个子查询都有自己的过滤条件时,那么这些过滤条件就可以被下推到读取RDD[CachedBatch]的算子中,即对应于InMemoryTableScanExec物理计算结点。
InMemoryTableScanExec
在前面的章节有提到,它被插入到InMemoryRelation(逻辑上就是RDD[CachedBatch])之前,以便根据上下文生成不同的下游RDD,完成计算。因此Spark内部在创建InMemoryTableScanExec
实例时,可以传入过滤条件,以便在计算数据时,就可以按CachedBatch,过滤掉不符合条件的缓存数据块。
过滤条件下推
由于
InMemoryTableScanExec
物理执行结点,可以接收过滤谓词,且直接读取RDD[CachedBatch],因此只能按Batch块应用过滤谓词,剔除不需要读取的数据块,就像过滤条件下推到Parquet、ORC文件的读取器。
由于缓存表是列式的,因此buildFilter(predicates, cachedAttributes)
方法的实现逻辑,是基于分区裁剪的逻辑做的,因此需要在判定当前分区中的CachedBatch数据块时,会简单粗暴的利用表达式估算,这个batch的统计信息是不是满足条件,如果满足就保留batch,否则就丢弃,因此我们需要保证传入的predicates参数只包含分区过滤条件,否则会多丢弃数据行,导致数据正确性问题
实际上,我们可以考虑增强这个类的实现,提供类似bloom filter的过滤能力,即一个CachedBatch肯定不满足条件,那里面的数据都不需要读,就丢弃当前batch;否则,则认定当前batch可能包含有效数据行,保留当前batch,留待后续的row by row过滤。
/**
* Provides basic filtering for [[CachedBatchSerializer]] implementations.
* The requirement to extend this is that all of the batches produced by your serializer are
* instances of [[SimpleMetricsCachedBatch]].
* This does not calculate the metrics needed to be stored in the batches. That is up to each
* implementation. The metrics required are really just min and max values and those are optional
* especially for complex types. Because those metrics are simple and it is likely that compression
* will also be done on the data we thought it best to let each implementation decide on the most
* efficient way to calculate the metrics, possibly combining them with compression passes that
* might also be done across the data.

思考与改进
CACHE TABLE
为用户提供了Session层级共享数据集的方法,可以通过此方法避免重复读表,并把读取的数据缓存在集群中,大加节约资源并减少整体耗时。但要想写好CACHE TABLE
,需要用户事先分析每一个SQL对于相同表的依赖字段,把共同的信息归总成一个缓存表,才能达到预期的效果。
那我们是否是可以自动化地完成抽象CACHE TABLE的工作?
答案是肯定的。从内核看,Spark优化器现在已经帮我们分析好了每一个子查询的Scan算子的依赖信息,这些分析的信息不正是我们手工定义CACHE TABLE
时需要梳理的信息吗!?因此我们可以较容易地通过改写现有的优化规则,或是增加新的优化规则,并基于优化后的plan,自动合并相同表上的Scan算子并注册缓存表,达到自动化共享临时数据集(子查询)目的。
