Because a large part of the time spent is > waiting for data from storage, threads are idle and CPU utilization is really > low. > There is no reason why this cannot be made asynchronous _and_ parallel. So > For Column _i_ -> reading one chunk until end, from storage -> intermediate > output queue -> read one uncompressed page until end -> output queue -> > (downstream ) decompression + decoding > Note that this can be made completely self contained in ParquetFileReader and > downstream implementations like Iceberg and Spark will automatically be able > to take advantage without code change as long as the ParquetFileReader apis > are not changed. > In past work with async io [Drill - async page reader > |https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/exec/java-exec/src/main/java/org/apache/drill/exec/store/parquet/columnreaders/AsyncPageReader.java] > , I have seen 2x-3x improvement in reading speed for Parquet files. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.7#820007)
