Jark Wu created FLINK-16296: ------------------------------- Summary: Improve performance of BaseRowSerializer#serialize() for GenericRow Key: FLINK-16296 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16296 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Table SQL / Runtime Reporter: Jark Wu
Currently, when serialize a {{GenericRow}} using {{BaseRowSerializer#serialize()}} , there will be 2 memory copy. The first is GenericRow -> BinaryRow, the second is BinaryRow -> DataOutputView. However, in theory, we can serialize GenericRow into DataOutputView directly, because we already get all the column values and types. We can serialize the null bit part for all columns and then the fix-part for all columns and then the variable lenght part. For example, when the column is a BinaryString, we can serialize the pos and length, and calcute the new variable part length, and then serialize the next column. If there is a generic type in the row, then it will fallback into previous way. But generic type in SQL is rare. This is a general improvements and can be benefit for every operators. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
