> GC pressure during ORC StringDictionary writes

> Key: HIVE-7144
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7144
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: File Formats
> Affects Versions: 0.14.0
> Environment: ORC Table ~ 12 string columns
> Reporter: Gopal V
> Assignee: Gopal V
> Labels: ORC, Performance
> Attachments: HIVE-7144.1.patch, orc-string-write.png
>
>
> When ORC string dictionary writes data out, it suffers from bad GC
> performance due to a few allocations in-loop.
> !orc-string-write.png!
> The conversions are as follows
> StringTreeWriter::getStringValue() causes 2 conversions
> LazyString -> Text (LazyString::getWritableObject)
> Text -> String (LazyStringObjectInspector::getPrimitiveJavaObject)
> Then StringRedBlackTree::add() does one conversion
> String -> Text
> This causes some GC pressure with un-necessary String and byte[] array
> allocations.
