-------------------------------------
Summary: DataTypeDescriptor.estimatedMemoryUsage() has no case
for BLOB or CLOB so would underestimate memory usage for those types at zero
Key: DERBY-6096
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6096
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 10.8.3.0, 10.9.1.0, 10.7.1.1, 10.6.2.1, 10.5.3.0,
10.4.2.0, 10.3.3.0, 10.2.2.0, 10.1.3.1, 10.10.0.0
Reporter: Kathey Marsden
In discussion on derby-dev regarding how much memory is used for hash joins,
Knut noted:
I haven't verified, but I think HashJoinStrategy uses
DataTypeDescriptor.estimatedMemoryUsage() to estimate how much memory
the hash table will consume. That method has no case for BLOB or CLOB,
so it looks as if it will return zero for LOB columns. If that's so, it
will definitely overestimate how many rows fits in maxMemoryPerTable
kilobytes if the rows contain LOBs.
DataTypeDescriptor.estimatedMemoryUsage() should be updated to include BLOB and
CLOB and we should try verify if this theory is correct with a reproduction.
