Vihang Karajgaonkar commented on HIVE-19041: -------------------------------------------- Thanks [~stakiar] for taking a look. I missed the type field in FieldSchema. Will work on that. I don't think we should intern comment though. Comments generally should not need to be interned since they will typically have different values. On a second thought, it might make sense to intern them for Partition's FieldSchema in case users have comments on the partition columns. Will take a look at setCatName and parameters. I thought parameters were handled separately. > Thrift deserialization of Partition objects should intern fields > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-19041 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19041 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Metastore > Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.3.2 > Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar > Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar > Priority: Major > Attachments: HIVE-19041.01.patch > > > When a client is creating large number of partitions, the thrift objects are > deserialized into Partition objects. The read method of these objects does > not intern the inputformat, location, outputformat which cause large number > of duplicate Strings in the HMS memory. We should intern these objects while > deserialization to reduce memory pressure. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
