slim bouguerra updated HIVE-21686:
----------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Brute Force eviction can lead to a random uncontrolled eviction pattern.
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-21686
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21686
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: slim bouguerra
> Assignee: slim bouguerra
> Priority: Major
>
> Current logic used by brute force eviction can lead to a perpetual random
> eviction pattern.
> For instance if the cache build a small pocket of free memory where the total
> size is greater than incoming allocation request, the allocator will randomly
> evict block that fits a particular size.
> This can happen over and over therefore all the eviction will be random.
> In Addition this random eviction will lead a leak in the linked list
> maintained by the policy since it does not know anymore about what is evicted
> and what not.
