James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-4148: --------------------------------------- I'll go ahead and commit your patch unless I hear objections, [~lhofhansl]. I'd like to get this into 4.14 as it prevents a potential RS crash. The code/approach can always be changed/improved down the road. > COUNT(DISTINCT(...)) should have a memory size limit > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-4148 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4148 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > Assignee: Lars Hofhansl > Priority: Major > Fix For: 4.14.0 > > Attachments: 4148.txt > > > I just managed to kill (hang) a region server by issuing a > COUNT(DISTINCT(...)) query over a column with very high cardinality (20m in > this case). > This is perhaps not a useful thing to do, but Phoenix should nonetheless not > allow to have a server fail because of a query. > [~jamestaylor], I see there GlobalMemoryManager, but I do not quite see how > I'd get a reference to one, once needs a tenant id, etc. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
