Narayanan Venkateswaran reassigned HIVE-24369: ---------------------------------------------- > Implement projection spec for fetching only requested fields from tables > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-24369 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24369 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Hive > Reporter: Narayanan Venkateswaran > Assignee: Narayanan Venkateswaran > Priority: Minor > > Currently HMS APIs that return Table objects return fully populated Table > objects. This object table is a bit heavy with all columns, their datatype > info, storage descriptor, list of properties set etc. So an API that can > fetch large amounts of tables, say 100k, they may not be able to retrieve all > of them in a single call due to memory constraints. > > To improve performance of the API for callers, they can selectively turn on > what fields on the Table object to populate on the returned objects via a > projection spec. > > Something similar has already been done for partitions in HIVE-20306. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
