Boaz Ben-Zvi created DRILL-5755: ----------------------------------- Summary: TOP_N_SORT operator does not free memory while running Key: DRILL-5755 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5755 Project: Apache Drill Issue Type: Bug Components: Execution - Relational Operators Affects Versions: 1.11.0 Reporter: Boaz Ben-Zvi
The TOP_N_SORT operator should keep the top N rows while processing its input, and free the memory used to hold all rows below the top N. For example, the following query uses a table with 125M rows: {code} select row_count, sum(row_count), avg(double_field), max(double_rand), count(float_rand) from dfs.`/data/tmp` group by row_count order by row_count limit 30; {code} And failed with an OOM when each of the 3 TOP_N_SORT operators was holding about 2.44 GB !! (see attached profile). It should take far less memory to hold 30 rows !! -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
