Soundararajan Velu updated HIVE-1139:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: PersistentMap.zip

Aravind/Ning, This implementation uses XMLEncoder/XMLDecoder to handle the 
serde, I am still experimenting on this, I got the base implementation from 
http://gitorious.org/persistenthashmap/pages/Home, This library is distributed 
under GPL, Added some functionality around threshold and combined iteration... 

> GroupByOperator sometimes throws OutOfMemory error when there are too many 
> distinct keys

> When a partial aggregation performed on a mapper, a HashMap is created to 
> keep all distinct keys in main memory. This could leads to OOM exception when 
> there are too many distinct keys for a particular mapper. A workaround is to 
> set the map split size smaller so that each mapper takes less number of rows. 
> A better solution is to use the persistent HashMapWrapper (currently used in 
> CommonJoinOperator) to spill overflow rows to disk.
