Robert Burke reassigned BEAM-4852:
----------------------------------
Assignee: Robert Burke
> [Go SDK] Beam should not retain the symbol table after function resolution
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-4852
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4852
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: sdk-go
> Reporter: Robert Burke
> Assignee: Robert Burke
> Priority: Major
>
> In some instances, Beam Go requires introspecting the symbol table for the
> binary to resolve functions. However it may be possible to cache these
> results for all applicable functions, and then allow the table to be garbage
> collected.
> The table represents a large heap cost that is retained for the lifetime of a
> job.
> A secondary goal would be to avoid incurring the cost entirely when there's
> nothing to look up for a job. Eg for unit tests, or ancillary uses of the
> beam SDK (eg. migrating from some other system to beam shouldn't incur the
> cost when the old system is being used, just because beam is linked in and
> triggered by a runtime switch).
