[jira] [Commented] (PIG-3044) Trigger POPartialAgg compaction under GC pressure

["Thejas M Nair (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3044?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13526600#comment-13526600 ] 

Thejas M Nair commented on PIG-3044:
------------------------------------

bq. I would even say we remove the % memory budget as the Spillable mechanism is more reliable and much simpler.
The reason why % memory budget was introduced for SelfSpillBag, was because the spillable mechanism didn't always work well. The cleanup often was getting triggered too late. So I think it is better use the Spillable mechanism here to spill earlier if necessary, as the patch is doing.

> If partial aggregation is turned on in pig 10 and 11, 20% (by default) of the available heap can be consumed by the POPartialAgg operator. This can cause memory issues for jobs that use all, or nearly all, of the heap already.
> If we make POPartialAgg "spillable" (trigger compaction when memory reduction is required), we would be much nicer to high-memory jobs.
