---------------------------
Summary: batch read with Java interface uses high memory when
reading ORC string dictionary encoding column
Key: ORC-1060
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-1060
Project: ORC
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Java, Reader
Affects Versions: 1.5.13
Reporter: xiaoli
We are upgrading spark version from 2.2 to 3.0. During this work, we find
spark3.0 uses higher memory than spark2.2 when reading ORC string dictionary
encoding column.
The reason is:
spark2.2 use hive's lib to read ORC
[https://github.com/aixuebo/hive1.2.1.ql/blob/master/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/io/orc/TreeReaderFactory.java]
In this code, StringDictionaryTreeReader class with row read interface hold
only one string dictionary in memory when reading across multiple file stripes.
spark3.0 use orc lib to read ORC
[https://github.com/apache/orc/blob/main/java/core/src/java/org/apache/orc/impl/TreeReaderFactory.java]
In this code, StringDictionaryTreeReader class with batch read interface could
hold 3 string dictionary in memory when reading across multiple file stripes:
2 copy of current stripe's dictionary data (dictionaryBuffer variable and
dictionaryBufferInBytesCache variable)
and 1 copy of next stripe's dictionary data (dictionaryBuffer variable, when
call
advanceToNextRow method in RecordReaderImpl class's nextBatch method)
