Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-502: --------------------------------- In the future if needed, we can add synchronized keyword to RCFile's read/write methods. These methods will be called once per row, so the cost is much smaller than what we had - once per row per column. > Optimize RCFile's performance by removeing all synchronized modifiers > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-502 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-502 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: He Yongqiang > Attachments: hive-502-2009-05-21.patch > > > Tests by Zheng and me both show that removing all synchronized modifiers can > improve RCFile's performance by about 15+%. > This will make RCFile's reader and writer not thread safe any longer. This > will be ok,since hive always does its work in single thread. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
