Mark Payne created NIFI-11636: --------------------------------- Summary: ParquetReader buffers up to 2 GB of content into heap unnecessarily Key: NIFI-11636 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11636 Project: Apache NiFi Issue Type: Bug Components: Extensions Reporter: Mark Payne Fix For: 1.latest, 2.latest
The Parquet Record Reader uses the NiFiSeekableInputStream. Because Parquet requires reading the footer first, this class is intended to use {{mark/reset}} so that we can read the footer and then reset back to the beginning. To achieve this, it calls {{InputStream.mark(Integer.MAX_VALUE)}} which will buffer up to 2 GB onto heap. However, the underlying InputStream is the ContentClaimInputStream. The ContentClaimInputStream has smarts built into it to allow resetting without having to buffer content into memory. In particular, if you read over the {{limit}} provided and then call {{reset}} it will close the InputStream and open a new InputStream from the beginning of the FlowFIle content and seek to the desired offset. Because of this, we don't need to use {{InputStream.mark(Integer.MAX_VALUE)}} and can instead use {{InputStream.mark(8192)}} or some similarly small value. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
