Laurent Goujon commented on CALCITE-3786:
-----------------------------------------
I'm not sure I understand why the change has been merged already: there has
been questions/concerns on both JIRA and Github about the change. Is it
possible to revert it and address those?
Personally, considering the impact, I would like to see a more concrete
benchmark on the memory impact. I have for example some reservation about the
use of a list of pair of string/objects in digest for things which are most
likely fields of the {{RelNode}}.
And there's also the digest String field, initialized lazily (but not always?),
but which is not sensible to memory pressure for example: could we for example
let this string be gc'ed if there's not enough memory at the time even it means
recomputing it?

> Key: CALCITE-3786
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3786
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.21.0
> Reporter: Vladimir Sitnikov
> Assignee: Danny Chen
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.24.0
>
> Time Spent: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Current digests for RexNode, RelNode, RelType, and similar cases use String
> concatenation.
> It is easy to implement, however, it has drawbacks:
> 1) String objects cannot be reused. For instance, RexCall has operands,
> however, the digest is duplicated. It causes extra memory use and extra CPU
> for string copying
> 2) There's no way to have multiple #toString() methods. RelType might need
> multiple digests: "including field names", "excluding field names".
> A suggested resolution might be behind the lines of
> {code:java}
> class Digest { // immutable
> final int hashCode; // speedup hashCode and equals
> final Object[] contents; // The values are either other Digest objects or
> Strings
> String toString(); // e.g. for debugging purposes
> int compareTo(Digest); // e.g. for debugging purposes.
> }
> {code}
> Note how fields in Kotlin are aligned much better, and it makes it easier to
> read:
> {code:java}
> class Digest { // immutable
> val hashCode: Int // speedup hashCode and equals
> val contents: Array<Any> // The values are either other Digest objects or
> Strings
> fun toString(): String // e.g. for debugging purposes
> fun compareTo(other: Digest): Int // e.g. for debugging purposes.
> }
> {code}
> Then the digest for RexCall could be the bits relevant to RexCall itself +
> digests of the operands (which can be reused as is)
