StackOverflowError during class deserialization by Spark Executor

A Spark job has started failing all of a sudden in the code where it's folding some historical data from files of a total size of around 1 GB. I will followup on the actual RDD size.

...

The same job seems to be working fine again if the folding is done on a smaller dataset. However, it seems unusual that this amount of data would cause it to fail like this.

TL;DR

This helped in my case:

spark-submit --conf "spark.executor.extraJavaOptions=-XX:ThreadStackSize=2048" ...

Default ThreadStackSize is 1024K.

More info

The error seems to be in the object deserializer. My suspicion is that there was a deeply nested data structure in a closure sent to the executor.

The reason I think it's in the code and not in the data is that this is the error from the Java Serializer. It did not go away if I used Kryo Serializer for data. Spark always uses Java Serializer for code.
