> Hive client side consume a lot of memory when the number of input partitions
> is large. One reason is that each partition maintains a list of FieldSchema
> which are intended to deal with schema evolution. However they are not used
> currently and Hive uses the table level schema for all partitions. This will
> be fixed in HIVE-2050. The memory consumption by this part will be reduced by
> almost half (1.2GB to 700BM for 20k partitions).
> Another large chunk of memory consumption is in the MapReduce job setup phase
> when a PartitionDesc is created from each Partition object. A property object
> is maintained in PartitionDesc which contains a full list of columns and
> types. Due to the same reason, these should be the same as in the table level
> schema. Also the deserializer initialization takes large amount of memory,
> which should be avoided. My initial testing for these optimizations cut the
> memory consumption in half (700MB to 300MB for 20k partitions).
