Specifically for orc adaptor it's of course urgent to improve its memory allocation process because all of the allocated memory by orc is escaping from Java allocator. However we don't have the same problem here in Datasets as allocator is going to manage all the native memory. The only issue we may have is that OOM error might be thrown after a buffer is allocated rather than before we create it. But because OOM will be finally thrown and over-allocated memory will be finally released, the impact will be very very small. And I knew we can possibly change to allocate Java memory directly from C++ via JNI, but codes will become messy and performance will turn to worse. That is why I didn't propose such a solution in this PR. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
