Csaba Ringhofer updated IMPALA-8431:
------------------------------------
Labels: parquet reservation (was: reservation)
> Parquet STRING column memory reservation seems underestimated
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IMPALA-8431
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8431
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Frontend
> Affects Versions: Impala 3.2.0
> Reporter: Csaba Ringhofer
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: parquet, reservation
>
> https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/5fa076e95cfbfcc044dc14cbb20af825936af82a/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/planner/HdfsScanNode.java#L1698
> computeMinScalarColumnMemReservation() uses stat avg_size to estimate the
> memory needed for a value during scanning, but this does not contain the 4
> byte / value length field used in plain encoding, which can dominate columns
> with very short strings. (compression can probably negate this affect)
> In case of dict decoding estimation:
> - this 4 byte/NDV should be also added, as the dictionary itself is also
> plain encoded
> - + 12 byte/NDV is used for the StringValues used as indirection in the
> dictionary, but I am not sure if this should be added to the reservation
> - a more pessimistic estimation would use max_size instead of avg_size for
> dictionary entries, as it is possible that the majority of distinct values
> are long, but the short ones are much more frequent, which makes the avg_size
> small
> Another small underestimation, that NULL values are ignored. NULLs (=def
> levels) could be added as 1 bit/value.
