Owen O'Malley commented on HIVE-3153: ------------------------------------- I also wrote a test program that just writes to a large number of RCFile.Writers. With the patch, I was able to use a lot more Writers before I ran out of memory in the process. > Release codecs and output streams between flushes of RCFile > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3153 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3153 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Compression > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Attachments: hive-3153.patch > > > Currently, RCFile writer holds a compression codec per a file and a > compression output stream per a column. Especially for queries that use > dynamic partitions this quickly consumes a lot of memory. > I'd like flushRecords to get a codec from the pool and create the compression > output stream in flushRecords. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
