>
> The OutStream class used by the ORC file format seems to aggressively
> allocate memory for ByteBuffers and doesn't seem too eager to give it back.
> This causes issues with heap space, particularly when a wide tables/dynamic
> partitions are involved.
> As a first step to resolving this problem, the OutStream class can be
> modified to lazily allocate memory, and more actively make it available for
> garbage collection.
> Follow ups could include checking the amount of free memory as part of
> determining if a spill is needed.
