Summary: Hash Agg uses more than the allocated memory under certain low memory conditions Key: DRILL-5737 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5737 Project: Apache Drill Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Sorabh Hamirwasia Reported by [~rkins] Based on the memory computations drill thinks that there is not sufficient memory and falls back to a single partition case. The single partition case however does not respect the memory constraints imposed and completes the query using ~130MB of memory {code:java} alter session set `planner.width.max_per_node` = 1; alter session set `planner.memory.max_query_memory_per_node` = 117127360; select count(*) from (select max(nulls_col), max(length(nulls_col)), max(`filename`) from dfs.`/drill/testdata/hash-agg/data1` group by no_nulls_col) d; {code} Based on analysis by [~ben-zvi] this is by design. When the Hash Aggr Op finds that there is not enough memory for at least two partitions, it falls back to the pre 1.11 behavior ( using 10GB limit ). Solution is to provide a configuration based on which the fallback will be either allowed or query will be failed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
