Misha Dmitriev commented on HIVE-19041:
---------------------------------------
[~gopalv] yes, since JDK 1.7 built-in string interning is far superior to one
based on WeakHashMap (which was used by Hadoop weak interner). Check the above
article on interning for further details.
> Thrift deserialization of Partition objects should intern fields

> 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.
