Summary: S3: Fetching partition sizes from FS can be expensive when stats are not available in metastore Key: HIVE-14423 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14423 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Rajesh Balamohan Priority: Minor When partition stats are not available in metastore, it tries to get the file sizes from FS. e.g {noformat} at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.getContentSummary(FileSystem.java:1487) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.stats.StatsUtils.getFileSizeForPartitions(StatsUtils.java:598) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.stats.StatsUtils.collectStatistics(StatsUtils.java:235) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.stats.StatsUtils.collectStatistics(StatsUtils.java:144) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.stats.StatsUtils.collectStatistics(StatsUtils.java:132) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.optimizer.stats.annotation.StatsRulesProcFactory$TableScanStatsRule.process(StatsRulesProcFactory.java:126) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.lib.DefaultRuleDispatcher.dispatch(DefaultRuleDispatcher.java:90) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.lib.DefaultGraphWalker.dispatchAndReturn(DefaultGraphWalker.java:105) {noformat} This can be quite expensive in some FS like S3. Especially when table is partitioned (e.g TPC-DS store_sales which has 1000s of partitions), query can spend 1000s of seconds just waiting for these information to be pulled in. Also, it would be good to remove FS.getContentSummary usage to find out file sizes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
