A single > row of data goes through all the operators before next row can be processed. > This mode of processing is very inefficient in terms of CPU usage. Research > has demonstrated that this yields very low instructions per cycle [MonetDB]. > Also currently hive heavily relies on lazy deserialization and data columns > go through a layer of object inspectors that identify column type, > de-serialize data and determine appropriate expression routines in the inner > loop. These layers of virtual method calls further slow down the processing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
