… broadcast object
What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR changes the broadcast object in TorrentBroadcast from a strong reference to a weak reference. This allows it to be garbage collected even if the Dataset is held in memory. This is ok, because the broadcast object can always be re-read.
How was this patch tested?
Tested in Spark shell by taking a heap dump, full repro steps listed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25998.
Closes apache#22995 from bkrieger/bk/torrent-broadcast-weak.
