Improve RCFile Read Speed ------------------------- Key: HIVE-2350 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2350 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Tim Armstrong Assignee: Tim Armstrong Priority: Minor
By tweaking the RCFile$Reader implementation to allow more efficient memory access I was able to reduce CPU usage. I measured the speed required to scan a gzipped RCFile, decompress and assemble into records. CPU time was reduced by about 7% for a full table scan, An improvement of about 2% was realised when a smaller subset of columns (3-5 out of tens) were selected. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
