-----------------------------------
Thanks for creating the issue [~b.maidics]!
Hi [~xiaochen], [~jojochuang], [~andrew.wang] what do you think about this? I
think storing the String would be more memory efficient, however, I don't know
if we exploit the fact that the fs.Path stores URI instead of Strings.
> fs.Path stores file path in java.net.URI causes big memory waste

> I was looking at HiveServer2 memory usage, and a big percentage of this was
> because of org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path, where you store file paths in a
> java.net.URI object. The URI implementation stores the same string in 3
> different objects (see the attached image). In Hive when there are many
> partitions this cause a big memory usage. In my particular case 42% of memory
> was used by java.net.URI so it could be reduced to 14%.
> I wonder if the community is open to replace it with a more memory efficient
> implementation and what other things should be considered here? It can be a
> huge memory improvement for Hadoop and for Hive as well.
