Hi Josh, No I don't have speculation enabled. The driver took about few hours until it was OOM. Interestingly, all partitions are generated successfully (_SUCCESS file is written in the output directory). Is there a reason why the driver needs so much memory? The jstack revealed that it called refresh some file statuses. Is there a way to avoid OutputCommitCoordinator to use so much memory?
Ultimately, I choose to use partitions because most of the queries I have will execute based the partition field. For example, "SELECT events from customer where customer_id = 1234". If the partition is based on customer_id, all events for a customer can be easily retrieved without filtering the entire dataset which is much more efficient (I hope). However, I notice that the implementation of the partition logic does not seem to allow this type of use cases without using a lot of memory which is a bit odd in my opinion. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Jerry On Sun, Oct 25, 2015 at 9:25 PM, Josh Rosen <rosenvi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Jerry, > > Do you have speculation enabled?
