For > queries with thousands of mappers, this leads to a stampede to the handful > (3?) datanodes that host the schema-file. In the best case, this causes > slowdowns. > It would be preferable to distribute the Avro-schema to all mappers as part > of the job-conf. The alternatives aren't exactly appealing: > # One can't rely solely on the {{column.list.types}} stored in the Hive > metastore. (HIVE-14789). > # {{avro.schema.literal}} might not always be usable, because of the > size-limit on table-parameters. The typical size of the Avro-schema file is > between 0.5-3MB, in my limited experience. Bumping the max table-parameter > size isn't a great solution. > If the {{avro.schema.file}} were read during query-planning, and made > available as part of table-properties (but not serialized into the > metastore), the downstream logic will remain largely intact. I have a patch > that does this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
