I meant a special case regarding 20Gb. Usually 40 threads can be used in
sufficiently powerful machines with enough RAM space. But we can control the
memory usage by reducing number of threads per node to prevent OOM while
buffering data.
512Mb is the default `store.parquet.block-size`, but according [Drill
doc](https://drill.apache.org/docs/parquet-format/#configuring-the-size-of-parquet-files)
it is recommended to set this value to the number of bytes less than or equal
to the block size of MFS, HDFS, or the file system. Then only 320K will be
buffered in memory.
Nothing wrong with `BufferedOutputStream`. Original `ColumnChunkPageWriter`
uses it, but together with `ConcatenatingByteArrayCollector` (which can buffer
data only in `List<byte[]>`). I suppose it is possible to upgrade the last
class to use `ByteBuffers`, but the result will be similar to
`CapacityByteArrayOutputStream`.
As I understand, data buffering allows to write into the disk entire block
without going back and writing anything else, ideally one row group per one fs
block. Looks like it is suitable for HDFS as well.
