Thejas M Nair commented on PIG-3044: ------------------------------------ bq. I would even say we remove the % memory budget as the Spillable mechanism is more reliable and much simpler. The reason why % memory budget was introduced for SelfSpillBag, was because the spillable mechanism didn't always work well. The cleanup often was getting triggered too late. So I think it is better use the Spillable mechanism here to spill earlier if necessary, as the patch is doing. > Trigger POPartialAgg compaction under GC pressure > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-3044 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3044 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.11, 0.10.1 > Reporter: Dmitriy V. Ryaboy > Assignee: Dmitriy V. Ryaboy > Fix For: 0.11, 0.12 > > Attachments: PIG-3044.2.diff, PIG-3404.diff > > > If partial aggregation is turned on in pig 10 and 11, 20% (by default) of the > available heap can be consumed by the POPartialAgg operator. This can cause > memory issues for jobs that use all, or nearly all, of the heap already. > If we make POPartialAgg "spillable" (trigger compaction when memory reduction > is required), we would be much nicer to high-memory jobs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
