             Summary: Support lazy materialization of row groups in 
ParquetFileReader
                 Key: PARQUET-2443
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-2443
             Project: Parquet
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Claire McGinty


Motivation: The current behavior of ParquetFilterReader#readNextRowGroup is to 
eagerly enumerate all chunks in the row group, then read all pages in the 
chunk. For distributed data workloads, this can cause significant memory 
pressure, particularly for use cases that require the colocation of multiple 
Parquet files on a single worker.

 

Proposal: A Parquet Configuration option that enables lazy row group reading, 
i.e., only a page at a time (plus whatever header is necessary to read that 
header). The Configuration option could be either a flag, or an int value for 
how many pages/page bytes to buffer at a time.

 

I think this could be accomplished by modifying 
[ParquetFileReader#readAllPages|#L1727]] to re-implement pagesInChunk as an 
Iterator<DataPage>, rather than a List<DataPage>. Then, ColumnChunkPageReader 
could parse the Configuration option above and decide whether to fully 
materialize the iterator or not.

 

I'm happy to try to create a draft/branch for this to get some early feedback 
on the idea!
