Sahil Takiar created HIVE-19937: ----------------------------------- Summary: Intern JobConf objects in Spark tasks Key: HIVE-19937 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19937 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Spark Reporter: Sahil Takiar Assignee: Sahil Takiar
When fixing HIVE-16395, we decided that each new Spark task should clone the {{JobConf}} object to prevent any {{ConcurrentModificationException}} from being thrown. However, setting this variable comes at a cost of storing a duplicate {{JobConf}} object for each Spark task. These objects can take up a significant amount of memory, we should intern them so that Spark tasks running in the same JVM don't store duplicate copies. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
