Task: 在前面的章节中提到，一个Job由DAGScheduler划分后通常包含多个Stage，而一个Stage又是由多个Task组成， Task分为ShuffleMapTask和ResultTask，一个JOB的DAG中最后面的Stage包含多个ResultTask，而前面的 Stage都包含的是ShuffleMapStage，在提交Stage时，会将Stage的Task经过序列化后广播至各Executor，由Executor反序列化后执行。

ShuffleMapTask负责执行任务，并根据Partitioner将结果划分成多个输出，供后续的Stage读取；

ResultTask负责执行任务，并将结果返回给Driver。

通常，一个Task负责处理RDD的一个partition，在Task类中定义了一个重要在Executor中执行的方法，该方法构造一个TaskContextImpl对象，并调用runTask(context)执行具体任务。

ShuffleMapTask和ResultTask都提供了对runTask的具体实现：

ShuffleMapTask

  override def runTask(context: TaskContext): MapStatus = {
    // Deserialize the RDD using the broadcast variable.
    val threadMXBean = ManagementFactory.getThreadMXBean
    val deserializeStartTime = System.currentTimeMillis()
    val deserializeStartCpuTime = if (threadMXBean.isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported) {
      threadMXBean.getCurrentThreadCpuTime
    } else 0L
    val ser = SparkEnv.get.closureSerializer.newInstance()
    val (rdd, dep) = ser.deserialize[(RDD[_], ShuffleDependency[_, _, _])](
      ByteBuffer.wrap(taskBinary.value), Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader)
    _executorDeserializeTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - deserializeStartTime
    _executorDeserializeCpuTime = if (threadMXBean.isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported) {
      threadMXBean.getCurrentThreadCpuTime - deserializeStartCpuTime
    } else 0L

    var writer: ShuffleWriter[Any, Any] = null
    try {
      val manager = SparkEnv.get.shuffleManager
      writer = manager.getWriter[Any, Any](dep.shuffleHandle, partitionId, context)
      writer.write(rdd.iterator(partition, context).asInstanceOf[Iterator[_ <: Product2[Any, Any]]])
      writer.stop(success = true).get
    } catch {
      case e: Exception =>
        try {
          if (writer != null) {
            writer.stop(success = false)
          }
        } catch {
          case e: Exception =>
            log.debug("Could not stop writer", e)
        }
        throw e
    }
  }

该方法的核心内容就是将Task进行反序列化，获取到反序列化后的RDD和ShuffleDependency，然后调用RDD的iterator方法处理该Task对应的Partition，并利用ShuffleWriter将结果分片输出。

ResultTask

  override def runTask(context: TaskContext): U = {
    // Deserialize the RDD and the func using the broadcast variables.
    val threadMXBean = ManagementFactory.getThreadMXBean
    val deserializeStartTime = System.currentTimeMillis()
    val deserializeStartCpuTime = if (threadMXBean.isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported) {
      threadMXBean.getCurrentThreadCpuTime
    } else 0L
    val ser = SparkEnv.get.closureSerializer.newInstance()
    val (rdd, func) = ser.deserialize[(RDD[T], (TaskContext, Iterator[T]) => U)](
      ByteBuffer.wrap(taskBinary.value), Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader)
    _executorDeserializeTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - deserializeStartTime
    _executorDeserializeCpuTime = if (threadMXBean.isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported) {
      threadMXBean.getCurrentThreadCpuTime - deserializeStartCpuTime
    } else 0L

    func(context, rdd.iterator(partition, context))
  }

ResultTask的runTask方法更简单，反序列化RDD和结果处理方法func,然后执行func方法将结果输出。

Submit tasks

DAGScheduler的submitMissingTasks方法在提交尚未执行的任务时，首先对task序列化并广播，最终调用TaskScheduler的submitTasks将任务提交至后端。TaskScheduler负责与Backed进行交互，提供对任务的资源分配、状态更新、容错处理等。

首先看看TaskScheduler的submitTasks方法，TaskScheduler在Spark中只有一个具体的实现，即TaskSchedulerImpl,

override def submitTasks(taskSet: TaskSet) {
    val tasks = taskSet.tasks
    logInfo("Adding task set " + taskSet.id + " with " + tasks.length + " tasks")
    this.synchronized {
      val manager = createTaskSetManager(taskSet, maxTaskFailures)
      val stage = taskSet.stageId
      val stageTaskSets =
        taskSetsByStageIdAndAttempt.getOrElseUpdate(stage, new HashMap[Int, TaskSetManager])
      stageTaskSets(taskSet.stageAttemptId) = manager
      val conflictingTaskSet = stageTaskSets.exists { case (_, ts) =>
        ts.taskSet != taskSet && !ts.isZombie
      }
      if (conflictingTaskSet) {
        throw new IllegalStateException(s"more than one active taskSet for stage $stage:" +
          s" ${stageTaskSets.toSeq.map{_._2.taskSet.id}.mkString(",")}")
      }
      schedulableBuilder.addTaskSetManager(manager, manager.taskSet.properties)

      if (!isLocal && !hasReceivedTask) {
        starvationTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
          override def run() {
            if (!hasLaunchedTask) {
              logWarning("Initial job has not accepted any resources; " +
                "check your cluster UI to ensure that workers are registered " +
                "and have sufficient resources")
            } else {
              this.cancel()
            }
          }
        }, STARVATION_TIMEOUT_MS, STARVATION_TIMEOUT_MS)
      }
      hasReceivedTask = true
    }
    backend.reviveOffers()
  }

这个方法主要做了以下工作：

• 为提交的TaskSet创建TaskSetManager；
• 检测有无冲突的Task已经提交；
• 将创建的TaskSetManager添加至schedulableBuilder；
• 开启一个定时任务检测该TaskSet有没有启动，没有启动则输出警告日志；
• 调用backend 的reviveOffers方法为TaskSet申请资源；

现在以Local模式为例说明reviveOffers到底做了哪些工作：

  def reviveOffers() {
    val offers = IndexedSeq(new WorkerOffer(localExecutorId, localExecutorHostname, freeCores))
    for (task <- scheduler.resourceOffers(offers).flatten) {
      freeCores -= scheduler.CPUS_PER_TASK
      executor.launchTask(executorBackend, task)
    }
  }

一个WorkOffer代表一个Executor上可用的资源，Local模式下每次创建一个WorkOffer。

TaskSchedulerImp基于Backend提供的这些WorkOffer进行任务调度，分配到资源的Task生成一个TaskDescription对象并通过Executor 的launchTask进行启动执行。有点类似于给各个pending 的Task发放offer，只有发放了offer的Task才能被启动执行。

那么，TaskSchedulerImp是如何基于现有的WorkOffer进行任务调度的呢？

  def resourceOffers(offers: IndexedSeq[WorkerOffer]): Seq[Seq[TaskDescription]] = synchronized {
    // Mark each slave as alive and remember its hostname
    // Also track if new executor is added
    var newExecAvail = false
    for (o <- offers) {
      if (!hostToExecutors.contains(o.host)) {
        hostToExecutors(o.host) = new HashSet[String]()
      }
      if (!executorIdToRunningTaskIds.contains(o.executorId)) {
        hostToExecutors(o.host) += o.executorId
        executorAdded(o.executorId, o.host)
        executorIdToHost(o.executorId) = o.host
        executorIdToRunningTaskIds(o.executorId) = HashSet[Long]()
        newExecAvail = true
      }
      for (rack <- getRackForHost(o.host)) {
        hostsByRack.getOrElseUpdate(rack, new HashSet[String]()) += o.host
      }
    }

    // Before making any offers, remove any nodes from the blacklist whose blacklist has expired. Do
    // this here to avoid a separate thread and added synchronization overhead, and also because
    // updating the blacklist is only relevant when task offers are being made.
    blacklistTrackerOpt.foreach(_.applyBlacklistTimeout())

    val filteredOffers = blacklistTrackerOpt.map { blacklistTracker =>
      offers.filter { offer =>
        !blacklistTracker.isNodeBlacklisted(offer.host) &&
          !blacklistTracker.isExecutorBlacklisted(offer.executorId)
      }
    }.getOrElse(offers)

    val shuffledOffers = shuffleOffers(filteredOffers)
    // Build a list of tasks to assign to each worker.
    val tasks = shuffledOffers.map(o => new ArrayBuffer[TaskDescription](o.cores / CPUS_PER_TASK))
    val availableCpus = shuffledOffers.map(o => o.cores).toArray
    val sortedTaskSets = rootPool.getSortedTaskSetQueue
    for (taskSet <- sortedTaskSets) {
      logDebug("parentName: %s, name: %s, runningTasks: %s".format(
        taskSet.parent.name, taskSet.name, taskSet.runningTasks))
      if (newExecAvail) {
        taskSet.executorAdded()
      }
    }

    // Take each TaskSet in our scheduling order, and then offer it each node in increasing order
    // of locality levels so that it gets a chance to launch local tasks on all of them.
    // NOTE: the preferredLocality order: PROCESS_LOCAL, NODE_LOCAL, NO_PREF, RACK_LOCAL, ANY
    for (taskSet <- sortedTaskSets) {
      var launchedAnyTask = false
      var launchedTaskAtCurrentMaxLocality = false
      for (currentMaxLocality <- taskSet.myLocalityLevels) {
        do {
          launchedTaskAtCurrentMaxLocality = resourceOfferSingleTaskSet(
            taskSet, currentMaxLocality, shuffledOffers, availableCpus, tasks)
          launchedAnyTask |= launchedTaskAtCurrentMaxLocality
        } while (launchedTaskAtCurrentMaxLocality)
      }
      if (!launchedAnyTask) {
        taskSet.abortIfCompletelyBlacklisted(hostToExecutors)
      }
    }

    if (tasks.size > 0) {
      hasLaunchedTask = true
    }
    return tasks
  }

• 这里的offers是指可用的资源，这个方法首先对offers进行了预处理，包括建立索引映射关系，过滤黑名单，对Offer进行洗牌（shuffle offer，避免每次调度资源的顺序一致导致Task始终分配到相同的work上）；
• 其次，通过rootPool.getSortedTaskSetQueue获取任务调度池中按照优先级排序后的TaskSets（调度策略可以是FIFO和FAIR等，可以通过spark.scheduler.mode配置）；
• 如果有新的Executor加入，则需要重新计算每个TaskSet的本地性；
• 根据本地性原则为每一个Task创建TaskDescription，TaskDescription用于对任务进行描述，可以序列化后发送给Executor，其中包括addedFiles，addedJars等属性；

为每一个TaskSet中的Task创建TaskDescription是通过resourceOfferSingleTaskSet实现的：

  private def resourceOfferSingleTaskSet(
      taskSet: TaskSetManager,
      maxLocality: TaskLocality,
      shuffledOffers: Seq[WorkerOffer],
      availableCpus: Array[Int],
      tasks: IndexedSeq[ArrayBuffer[TaskDescription]]) : Boolean = {
    var launchedTask = false
    // nodes and executors that are blacklisted for the entire application have already been
    // filtered out by this point
    for (i <- 0 until shuffledOffers.size) {
      val execId = shuffledOffers(i).executorId
      val host = shuffledOffers(i).host
      if (availableCpus(i) >= CPUS_PER_TASK) {
        try {
          for (task <- taskSet.resourceOffer(execId, host, maxLocality)) {
            tasks(i) += task
            val tid = task.taskId
            taskIdToTaskSetManager(tid) = taskSet
            taskIdToExecutorId(tid) = execId
            executorIdToRunningTaskIds(execId).add(tid)
            availableCpus(i) -= CPUS_PER_TASK
            assert(availableCpus(i) >= 0)
            launchedTask = true
          }
        } catch {
          case e: TaskNotSerializableException =>
            logError(s"Resource offer failed, task set ${taskSet.name} was not serializable")
            // Do not offer resources for this task, but don't throw an error to allow other
            // task sets to be submitted.
            return launchedTask
        }
      }
    }
    return launchedTask
  }

该方法遍历shuffledOffers，为每一个shuffledOffer分配Task，最终由TaskManager的resourceOffer方法找到合适当前shuffledOffer执行的Task，其逻辑如下：

  def resourceOffer(
      execId: String,
      host: String,
      maxLocality: TaskLocality.TaskLocality)
    : Option[TaskDescription] =
  {
    val offerBlacklisted = taskSetBlacklistHelperOpt.exists { blacklist =>
      blacklist.isNodeBlacklistedForTaskSet(host) ||
        blacklist.isExecutorBlacklistedForTaskSet(execId)
    }
    if (!isZombie && !offerBlacklisted) {
      val curTime = clock.getTimeMillis()

      var allowedLocality = maxLocality

      if (maxLocality != TaskLocality.NO_PREF) {
        allowedLocality = getAllowedLocalityLevel(curTime)
        if (allowedLocality > maxLocality) {
          // We're not allowed to search for farther-away tasks
          allowedLocality = maxLocality
        }
      }

      dequeueTask(execId, host, allowedLocality).map { case ((index, taskLocality, speculative)) =>
        // Found a task; do some bookkeeping and return a task description
        val task = tasks(index)
        val taskId = sched.newTaskId()
        // Do various bookkeeping
        copiesRunning(index) += 1
        val attemptNum = taskAttempts(index).size
        val info = new TaskInfo(taskId, index, attemptNum, curTime,
          execId, host, taskLocality, speculative)
        taskInfos(taskId) = info
        taskAttempts(index) = info :: taskAttempts(index)
        // Update our locality level for delay scheduling
        // NO_PREF will not affect the variables related to delay scheduling
        if (maxLocality != TaskLocality.NO_PREF) {
          currentLocalityIndex = getLocalityIndex(taskLocality)
          lastLaunchTime = curTime
        }
        // Serialize and return the task
        val serializedTask: ByteBuffer = try {
          ser.serialize(task)
        } catch {
          // If the task cannot be serialized, then there's no point to re-attempt the task,
          // as it will always fail. So just abort the whole task-set.
          case NonFatal(e) =>
            val msg = s"Failed to serialize task $taskId, not attempting to retry it."
            logError(msg, e)
            abort(s"$msg Exception during serialization: $e")
            throw new TaskNotSerializableException(e)
        }
        if (serializedTask.limit() > TaskSetManager.TASK_SIZE_TO_WARN_KB * 1024 &&
          !emittedTaskSizeWarning) {
          emittedTaskSizeWarning = true
          logWarning(s"Stage ${task.stageId} contains a task of very large size " +
            s"(${serializedTask.limit() / 1024} KB). The maximum recommended task size is " +
            s"${TaskSetManager.TASK_SIZE_TO_WARN_KB} KB.")
        }
        addRunningTask(taskId)

        // We used to log the time it takes to serialize the task, but task size is already
        // a good proxy to task serialization time.
        // val timeTaken = clock.getTime() - startTime
        val taskName = s"task ${info.id} in stage ${taskSet.id}"
        logInfo(s"Starting $taskName (TID $taskId, $host, executor ${info.executorId}, " +
          s"partition ${task.partitionId}, $taskLocality, ${serializedTask.limit()} bytes)")

        sched.dagScheduler.taskStarted(task, info)
        new TaskDescription(
          taskId,
          attemptNum,
          execId,
          taskName,
          index,
          addedFiles,
          addedJars,
          task.localProperties,
          serializedTask)
      }
    } else {
      None
    }
  }

在该方法的主要逻辑流程是：

• 检查所分配的Executor或者Executor所在的Host是否在黑名单中；
• 本地性合法性检查；
• 通过调用dequeueTask从TaskManager所管理的TaskSet中取出优先级最高的Task；
• 记录bookkeeping并生成TaskDescription返回 .

其中最重要的问题是如何取出一个最优的Task能够匹配所分配的Executor去执行，这个最优的定义是：

  /**
   * Dequeue a pending task for a given node and return its index and locality level.
   * Only search for tasks matching the given locality constraint.
   *
   * @return An option containing (task index within the task set, locality, is speculative?)
   */
  private def dequeueTask(execId: String, host: String, maxLocality: TaskLocality.Value)
    : Option[(Int, TaskLocality.Value, Boolean)] =
  {
    for (index <- dequeueTaskFromList(execId, host, getPendingTasksForExecutor(execId))) {
      return Some((index, TaskLocality.PROCESS_LOCAL, false))
    }

    if (TaskLocality.isAllowed(maxLocality, TaskLocality.NODE_LOCAL)) {
      for (index <- dequeueTaskFromList(execId, host, getPendingTasksForHost(host))) {
        return Some((index, TaskLocality.NODE_LOCAL, false))
      }
    }

    if (TaskLocality.isAllowed(maxLocality, TaskLocality.NO_PREF)) {
      // Look for noPref tasks after NODE_LOCAL for minimize cross-rack traffic
      for (index <- dequeueTaskFromList(execId, host, pendingTasksWithNoPrefs)) {
        return Some((index, TaskLocality.PROCESS_LOCAL, false))
      }
    }

    if (TaskLocality.isAllowed(maxLocality, TaskLocality.RACK_LOCAL)) {
      for {
        rack <- sched.getRackForHost(host)
        index <- dequeueTaskFromList(execId, host, getPendingTasksForRack(rack))
      } {
        return Some((index, TaskLocality.RACK_LOCAL, false))
      }
    }

    if (TaskLocality.isAllowed(maxLocality, TaskLocality.ANY)) {
      for (index <- dequeueTaskFromList(execId, host, allPendingTasks)) {
        return Some((index, TaskLocality.ANY, false))
      }
    }

    // find a speculative task if all others tasks have been scheduled
    dequeueSpeculativeTask(execId, host, maxLocality).map {
      case (taskIndex, allowedLocality) => (taskIndex, allowedLocality, true)}
  }

这个方法会根据期望的Locality级别找到匹配的Task。

Task执行的本地化实现

在DAGScheduler的submitMissingTasks中构造TaskSet时有这么一段程序：

    val tasks: Seq[Task[_]] = try {
      val serializedTaskMetrics = closureSerializer.serialize(stage.latestInfo.taskMetrics).array()
      stage match {
        case stage: ShuffleMapStage =>
          stage.pendingPartitions.clear()
          partitionsToCompute.map { id =>
            val locs = taskIdToLocations(id)
            val part = stage.rdd.partitions(id)
            stage.pendingPartitions += id
            new ShuffleMapTask(stage.id, stage.latestInfo.attemptId,
              taskBinary, part, locs, properties, serializedTaskMetrics, Option(jobId),
              Option(sc.applicationId), sc.applicationAttemptId)
          }

        case stage: ResultStage =>
          partitionsToCompute.map { id =>
            val p: Int = stage.partitions(id)
            val part = stage.rdd.partitions(p)
            val locs = taskIdToLocations(id)
            new ResultTask(stage.id, stage.latestInfo.attemptId,
              taskBinary, part, locs, id, properties, serializedTaskMetrics,
              Option(jobId), Option(sc.applicationId), sc.applicationAttemptId)
          }
      }
    }

无论是构造ShuffleMapTask还是ResultTask，都会从taskIdToLocations去获得每一个Task的Location信息，生成taskIdToLocations的源码如下：

    val taskIdToLocations: Map[Int, Seq[TaskLocation]] = try {
      stage match {
        case s: ShuffleMapStage =>
          partitionsToCompute.map { id => (id, getPreferredLocs(stage.rdd, id))}.toMap
        case s: ResultStage =>
          partitionsToCompute.map { id =>
            val p = s.partitions(id)
            (id, getPreferredLocs(stage.rdd, p))
          }.toMap
      }
    } catch {
      case NonFatal(e) =>
        stage.makeNewStageAttempt(partitionsToCompute.size)
        listenerBus.post(SparkListenerStageSubmitted(stage.latestInfo, properties))
        abortStage(stage, s"Task creation failed: $e\n${Utils.exceptionString(e)}", Some(e))
        runningStages -= stage
        return
    }

这个方法调用了getPreferredLocs，而getPreferredLocs最终调用了getPreferredLocsInternal：

 private def getPreferredLocsInternal(
      rdd: RDD[_],
      partition: Int,
      visited: HashSet[(RDD[_], Int)]): Seq[TaskLocation] = {
    // If the partition has already been visited, no need to re-visit.
    // This avoids exponential path exploration.  SPARK-695
    if (!visited.add((rdd, partition))) {
      // Nil has already been returned for previously visited partitions.
      return Nil
    }
    // If the partition is cached, return the cache locations
    val cached = getCacheLocs(rdd)(partition)
    if (cached.nonEmpty) {
      return cached
    }
    // If the RDD has some placement preferences (as is the case for input RDDs), get those
    val rddPrefs = rdd.preferredLocations(rdd.partitions(partition)).toList
    if (rddPrefs.nonEmpty) {
      return rddPrefs.map(TaskLocation(_))
    }

    // If the RDD has narrow dependencies, pick the first partition of the first narrow dependency
    // that has any placement preferences. Ideally we would choose based on transfer sizes,
    // but this will do for now.
    rdd.dependencies.foreach {
      case n: NarrowDependency[_] =>
        for (inPart <- n.getParents(partition)) {
          val locs = getPreferredLocsInternal(n.rdd, inPart, visited)
          if (locs != Nil) {
            return locs
          }
        }

      case _ =>
    }
    Nil
  }

这个方法是一个递归调用:

• 首先从缓存中取partition的TaskLocation，有就直接返回；否则进入下一步；
• 如果RDD对应的是输入的RDD（Input RDD），则直接调用rdd.preferredLocations获得TaskLocation，否则递归找到其第一个narrow dependency，然后调用rdd.preferredLocations获得TaskLocation。
  RDD的preferredLocations方法实现如下：

final def preferredLocations(split: Partition): Seq[String] = {
    checkpointRDD.map(_.getPreferredLocations(split)).getOrElse {
      getPreferredLocations(split)
    }
  }

这个方法首先考虑从checkPointRDD中取Location，如果没有checkpoint,则调用getPreferredLocations，这个方法即前面介绍RDD中提到过的基本方法之一，用于指定RDD中split的最优执行位置。

TaskLocation

TaskLocation分为三种：

• ExecutorCacheTaskLocation
• HostTaskLocation
• HDFSCacheTaskLocation
