Sergio Peña created HIVE-9658: --------------------------------- Summary: Reduce parquet memory use by bypassing java primitive objects on ETypeConverter Key: HIVE-9658 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9658 Project: Hive Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Sergio Peña Assignee: Sergio Peña
The ETypeConverter class passes Writable objects to the collection converters in order to be read later by the map/reduce functions. These objects are all wrapped in a unique ArrayWritable object. We can save some memory by returning the java primitive objects instead in order to prevent memory allocation. The only writable object needed by map/reduce is ArrayWritable. If we create another writable class where to store primitive objects (Object), then we can stop using all primitive wirtables. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
