> Reduce Binary/String conversion overhead when reading/writing Parquet files
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-5309
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5309
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: MIchael Davies
> Priority: Minor
>
> Converting between Parquet Binary and Java Strings can form a significant
> proportion of query times.
> For columns which have repeated String values (which is common) the same
> Binary will be repeatedly being converted.
> A simple change to cache the last converted String per column was shown to
> reduce query times by 25% when grouping on a data set of 66M rows on a column
> with many repeated Strings.
> A possible optimisation would be to hand responsibility for Binary
> encoding/decoding over to Parquet so that it could ensure that this was done
> only once per Binary value.
> Next step is to look at Parquet code and to discuss with that project, which
> I will do.
> More details are available on this discussion:
