Gopal V created HIVE-5834: ----------------------------- Summary: Avoid reading ORC footers for files which will not be split in OrcInputFormat::getSplits() Key: HIVE-5834 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5834 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Tez Affects Versions: 0.13.0 Reporter: Gopal V Assignee: Gopal V
OrcInputFormat::getSplits() fires off a SplitGenerator task for every file in the task. The footer & data are on the same node for all files with only 1 hdfs block. On top of that, it will never need a further split as long as its total size is < context.maxSize. Reading that footer locally is faster than reading it in the split gen and sending it from the AM. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
