Paul Rogers updated DRILL-5211:
-------------------------------
Attachment: ScanSchemaManagement.pdf
Attached is are higher-level proposals for creating a new version of the column
projection management aspect scan batch operator.
As it turns out, each reader has its own way to handle projection. The attached
proposal standardizes projection management so it can be reused across readers.
This, in turn, eliminates the complex reader code that is an obstacle to
retrofitting readers with the new size-aware "result set loader."

> Consider a test of the external sort as follows:
> * Direct memory: 3GB
> * Input file: 18 GB, with one Varchar column of 8K width
> The sort runs, spilling to disk. Once all data arrives, the sort beings to
> merge the results. But, to do that, it must first do an intermediate merge.
> For example, in this sort, there are 190 spill files, but only 19 can be
> merged at a time. (Each merge file contains 128 MB batches, and only 19 can
> fit in memory, giving a total footprint of 2.5 GB, well below the 3 GB limit.
> Yet, when loading batch xx, Drill fails with an OOM error. At that point,
> total available direct memory is 3,817,865,216. (Obtained from {{maxMemory}}
> in the {{Bits}} class in the JDK.)
> It appears that Drill wants to allocate 58,257,868 bytes, but the
> {{totalCapacity}} (again in {{Bits}}) is already 3,800,769,206, causing an
> OOM.
> The problem is that, at this point, the external sort should not ask the
> system for more memory. The allocator for the external sort is at just
> 1,192,350,366 before the allocation request. Plenty of spare memory should be
> available, released when the in-memory batches were spilled to disk prior to
> merging. Indeed, earlier in the run, the sort had reached a peak memory usage
> of 2,710,716,416 bytes. This memory should be available for reuse during
> merging, and is plenty sufficient to fill the particular request in question.
