Gunther Hagleitner commented on HIVE-7271: ------------------------------------------ [~leftylev] Just a thought: This parameter is useful to run unit tests quicker, but in general not something i would recommend anyone to set to true outside of that. It basically runs the hashtable generation for mapjoins in the CLI process - something that could give you memory issues. I'll put that in the release notes, but in general I think parameters like this needn't be exposed to users. In these cases should we just leave it out of the xml? > Speed up unit tests > ------------------- > > Key: HIVE-7271 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7271 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Gunther Hagleitner > Assignee: Gunther Hagleitner > Labels: TODOC14 > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-7271.1.patch, HIVE-7271.2.patch, HIVE-7271.3.patch, > HIVE-7271.4.patch, HIVE-7271.5.patch, HIVE-7271.6.patch, HIVE-7271.7.patch > > > Did some experiments to see if there's a way to speed up unit tests. > TestCliDriver seemed to take a lot of time just spinning up/tearing down > JVMs. I was also curious to see if running everything on a ram disk would > help. > Results (I ran tests up to authorization_2): > - Current setup: 40 minutes > - Single JVM (not using child JVM to run all queries): 8 minutes > - Single JVM + ram disk: 7 minutes > So the ram disk didn't help that much. But running tests in single JVM seems > worthwhile doing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
