SPARK outputDeterministicLevel的作用--任务全部重试或者部分重试

背景

目前spark的repartition()方法是随机分配数据到下游，这会导致一个问题，有时候如果我们用repartition方法的时候，如果任务发生了重试，就有可能导致任务的数据不准确，那这个时候改怎么解决这个问题呢？

分析

在Spark RDD中存在着名为outputDeterministicLevel的变量，如下：

private[spark] final lazy val outputDeterministicLevel: DeterministicLevel.Value = {
    if (isReliablyCheckpointed) {
      DeterministicLevel.DETERMINATE
    } else {
      getOutputDeterministicLevel
    }
  }

那么该变量的作用是什么呢？让我们分析一下：
改变量最终会被Stage的isIndeterminate方法调用：

 def isIndeterminate: Boolean = {
    rdd.outputDeterministicLevel == DeterministicLevel.INDETERMINATE
  }

而该方法会被DAGScheduler调用，有两处地方会被调用：

• submitMissingTasks中调用

   private def submitMissingTasks(stage: Stage, jobId: Int): Unit = {
    logDebug("submitMissingTasks(" + stage + ")")

    // Before find missing partition, do the intermediate state clean work first.
    // The operation here can make sure for the partially completed intermediate stage,
    // `findMissingPartitions()` returns all partitions every time.
    stage match {
      case sms: ShuffleMapStage if stage.isIndeterminate && !sms.isAvailable =>
        mapOutputTracker.unregisterAllMapOutput(sms.shuffleDep.shuffleId)
      case _ =>
    }

该方法主要用于在重新提交失败的stage时候，用来判断是否需要重新计算上游的所有任务。

• handleTaskCompletion中调用

      case FetchFailed(bmAddress, shuffleId, _, mapIndex, _, failureMessage) =>
            。。。
            val noResubmitEnqueued = !failedStages.contains(failedStage)
            failedStages += failedStage
            failedStages += mapStage
            if (noResubmitEnqueued) {
              // If the map stage is INDETERMINATE, which means the map tasks may return
              // different result when re-try, we need to re-try all the tasks of the failed
              // stage and its succeeding stages, because the input data will be changed after the
              // map tasks are re-tried.
              // Note that, if map stage is UNORDERED, we are fine. The shuffle partitioner is
              // guaranteed to be determinate, so the input data of the reducers will not change
              // even if the map tasks are re-tried.
             if (mapStage.isIndeterminate) {

这里如果任务Fetch失败了，根据该shuffle所对应的上游stage是不是isIndeterminate来向DAGScheduler提交ResubmitFailedStages事件，从而调用submitMissingTasks方法进行上游所有任务或者单个任务的重试。

再回到outputDeterministicLevel变量，该变量会调用getOutputDeterministicLevel方法进行循环调用上游的outputDeterministicLevel变量来确定outputDeterministicLevel的值。

结论

所以根据以上分析，我们可以改写对应的RDD的outputDeterministicLevel变量或者getOutputDeterministicLevel方法来进行stage任务的全部重试与否
