> The TextConverter in PrimitiveObjectInspectorConverter.java is very
> inefficient if the input object is already Text or Lazy. Since it calls
> getPrimitiveJavaObject, each Text is decoded into a String and then
> re-encoded into Text. The solution is to check if preferWritable() is true,
> then call getPrimitiveWritable(input).
> To test performance, I ran the Grep query from
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-396 on a cluster of 3 ec2 large
> nodes (2 slaves 1 master) on 6GB of data. It took 21 map tasks. With the
> current 0.8.1 version, it took 81 seconds. After patching, it took 66 seconds.
> I will attach a patch and testcases.
