> Project: Hive

>
> Running hive export on a table with a large number of partitions winds up
> making the metastore and client run out of memory. The number of places we
> wind up having a copy of the entire partitions object wind up being as
> follows:
> Metastore
> * (temporarily) Metastore MPartition objects
> * List<Partition> that gets persisted before sending to thrift
> * thrift copy of all of those partitions
> Client side
> * thrift copy of partitions
> * deepcopy of above to create List<Partition> objects
> * JSONObject that contains all of those above partition objects
> * List<ReadEntity> which each encapsulates the aforesaid partition objects.
> This memory usage needs to be drastically reduced.
