> avoid creating OrcFile.Reader for all orc files

>                 Key: SPARK-25126

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Input/Output
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.1
>            Reporter: Rao Fu
>            Priority: Minor

> We have a spark job that starts by reading orc files under an S3 directory 
> and we noticed the job consumes a lot of memory when both the number of orc 
> files and the size of the file are large. The memory bloat went away with the 
> following workaround.
> 1) create a DataSet<Row> from a single orc file.
> Dataset<Row> rowsForFirstFile = spark.read().format("orc").load(oneFile);
> 2) when creating DataSet<Row> from all files under the directory, use the 
> schema from the previous DataSet.
> Dataset<Row> rows = 
> spark.read().schema(rowsForFirstFile.schema()).format("orc").load(path);
> I believe the issue is due to the fact in order to infer the schema a 
> FileReader is created for each orc file under the directory although only the 
> first one is used. The FileReader creation loads the metadata of the orc file 
> and the memory consumption is very high when there are many files under the 
> directory.
> The issue exists in both 2.0 and HEAD.
> In 2.0, OrcFileOperator.readSchema is used.
> [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/hive/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/hive/orc/OrcFileOperator.scala#L95]
> In HEAD, OrcUtils.readSchema is used.
