Reading shared global dataframe in dask
I'm parallelizing a function over 32 cores and am having some trouble accessing a shared dataframe dask_paths. All the code works correctly when I get rid of the line (and lines that depend on it) dask_paths[dask_paths['od'] == (o,d)].compute(). Incredibly, if I compute this for some fixed o, d outside of the distributed code, then use that result, I get what I want (for that o, d). This means it really is just the actual accessing of dask_paths that is failing in the parallel computation. I am using the logic given here for "embarassingly paralellizable for loops" in the dask docs. Moreover, I used to use get_group on a global pd.DataFrame grouped for this logic, and that suffered from the same problem of glogbal (even though this is serially done in a couple seconds, the computation stalls before giving a cryptic error message, given at the bottom). I don't know why this is.
Note that dask_paths is a Dask.dataframe. This is the most basic of logic in parallellizing with dask, so not sure why it's failing. I am working on a Vertex AI jupyter notebook on Google Cloud. There is no error trace, because the program simply stalls. All the data/dataframes have been defined in the global environment of the jupyter notebook in the cells above, and are working fine. The vertex AI notebook has 16 vCPUs and 100GB RAM and is run on Google Cloud's VM. There is no reading or writing to any files, so that's not the issue.
# dask_paths['od'] takes on values like (100, 150)
# popular takes the form of a [[20, 25], [100, 150], [67, 83],...]
# and is of length 2000 elements, every element is a list of len 2
def main():
def pop2unique(pop):
df = dask_paths[dask_paths['od'] == (pop[0], pop[1])].compute()
return df['last'].sum()
lzs = []
ncores = 32
dask_client.cluster.scale(10)
futures = dask_client.map(pop2unique, popular[:10]) # this stalls
results = dask_client.gather(futures)
And dask_paths takes the form
index (o, d) last
605096 (22, 25) 10
999336 (103, 88) 31
1304512 (101, 33) 9
1432383 (768, 21) 16
The client being used everywhere is given by
from dask.distributed import Client, progress
dask_client = Client(threads_per_worker=4, n_workers=8)
The error message I get is long and cryptic:

The errors you are seeing might not be related to your workflow - maybe a version conflict or similar.
However, you are mixing dask API paradigms. You have created a dask-dataframe - which understand how to partitionify operations for dask to compute - but then chosen to create tasks manually yourself. This is a bad idea. Dask tasks should generally be operating on one partition of a normal data structure (in this case, dataframe) not on a dask collection (in this case, dask dataframe). It may be (I am not sure) that the attempt to serialise the dask-dataframe and deserialise it on the workers is what is causing them to fail to start properly.
Your workflow at first glance looks like a full shuffle, but indeed i does parallelise OK, because you can groupby in each partition, and sum the results.
def per_partition_op(df):
return df.groupby("od")["last"].sum()
df2 = df.map_partitions(per_partition_op)
At this point, you can just compute and work with the partials series, since this should already be of a manageable size
partials = df2.compute()
results = partials.groupby(level=0).sum()
