[jira] [Comment Edited] (TEZ-2244) PipelinedSorter: Progressive allocation for sort-buffers

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-2244?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14978725#comment-14978725 ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"tez.runtime.pipelined.sorter.lazy-allocate.memory" - (defaults to false). Progressive/lazy allocation gets enabled when this is set to true.

"tez.runtime.pipelined.sorter.min-block.size.in.mb" - (defaults to 2000). When progressive/lazy allocation is disabled, sorter tries to allocate memory in the block sizes specified by this.

Will commit when pre-commit build passes.

> Currently, the sort buffers are allocated pessimistically for all tasks so that the largest task's spill stays within memory.
> After the chained buffer implementation inside PipelinedSorter, it brings up the possibility of only allocating the first chunk of the sort buffer when the sorter starts up.
> This allows for the tasks which do not heavily use the sort buffer (like a grouping aggregation) to use the sort-space only when the map-aggregation turns itself off.
> Not reserving memory on startup hurts the worst-case scenario for the pipelined sorter, but improves the average case.
