Sasha Sirovica updated ARROW-17473: ----------------------------------- Component/s: (was: Go) Affects Version/s: (was: 9.0.0) Description: (was: When using `arrow.BinaryTypes.String` in a schema, appending multiple strings, and then writing a record out to parquet the memory of the program continuously increases. I took a heap dump on my computer midway through the program and the majority of allocations comes from `StringBuilder.Append`. I approached 16GB of RAM before terminating the program. I was not able to replicate this behavior with just PrimativeTypes. Another interesting point, if the records are created but never written with pqarrow there are also no memory leaks. In the below program commenting out `w.Write(rec)` will not cause memory issues. Example program which causes memory to leak: {code:java} package main import ( "os" "testing" "github.com/apache/arrow/go/v9/arrow" "github.com/apache/arrow/go/v9/arrow/array" "github.com/apache/arrow/go/v9/arrow/memory" "github.com/apache/arrow/go/v9/parquet" "github.com/apache/arrow/go/v9/parquet/compress" "github.com/apache/arrow/go/v9/parquet/pqarrow" ) func main() { f, _ := os.Create("/tmp/test.parquet") arrowProps := pqarrow.DefaultWriterProps() schema := arrow.NewSchema( []arrow.Field{ {Name: "aString", Type: arrow.BinaryTypes.String}, }, nil, ) w, _ := pqarrow.NewFileWriter(schema, f, parquet.NewWriterProperties(parquet.WithCompression(compress.Codecs.Snappy)), arrowProps) builder := array.NewRecordBuilder(memory.DefaultAllocator, schema) for i := 1; i < 50000000; i++ { builder.Field(0).(*array.StringBuilder).Append("HelloWorld!") if i%2000000 == 0 { // Write row groups out every 2M times rec := builder.NewRecord() w.Write(rec) rec.Release() } } w.Close() }{code}) Summary: .
