Jark Wu commented on FLINK-21738: --------------------------------- yes. It is called 6 times, because the planner doesn't cache the result. This can be another optimization topic. > reduce unnecessary method calls in ModuleManager > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-21738 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21738 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Table SQL / API > Reporter: zoucao > Priority: Major > > In flink sql, if we use many functions(hive func or flink built-in func), > Flink will call method > `getFunctionDefinition` in > [ModuleManager|https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/97bfd049951f8d52a2e0aed14265074c4255ead0/flink-table/flink-table-api-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/table/module/ModuleManager.java#L44] > many times to load func and each module's method `listFunctions` will be > called at the same time. I think the same result will be returned for one > module, so maybe a cache should be used here to reduce time waste. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
