Muhammad Samir Khan updated TEZ-3159:
-------------------------------------
Attachment: TEZ-3159.004.patch
Incorporated comments from the review. Removed the alignment to power of two.
When growing the first buffer, it is set to the max of 2*existing length and
the desired length, similar to ByteArrayOutputStream. Also added
FlexibleDataInputBuffer and the relevant logic in IFile.Reader. However, to use
it, we will have to change the TezRawKeyValueIterator interface and its
implementing classes, which is a bigger change.

> Currently DataOutputBuffer is used for serializing. The underlying buffer
> keeps doubling in size when it reaches capacity. In some of the Pig scripts
> which serialize big bags, we end up with OOM in Tez as there is no space to
> double the array size. Mapreduce mode runs fine in those cases with 1G heap.
> The scenarios are
> - When combiner runs in reducer and some of the fields after combining
> are still big bags (For eg: distinct). Currently with mapreduce combiner does
> not run in reducer - MAPREDUCE-5221. Since input sort buffers hold good
> amount of memory at that time it can easily go OOM.
> - While serializing output with bags when there are multiple inputs and
> outputs and the sort buffers for those take up space.
> It is a pain especially after buffer size hits 128MB. Doubling at 128MB will
> require 128MB (existing array) +256MB (new array). Any doubling after that
> requires even more space. But most of the time the data is probably not going
> to fill up that 256MB leading to wastage.
