             Summary: Change Mempool memory allocation size to be <1MB to avoid allocating from CentralFreeList
                 Key: IMPALA-6425
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-6425
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Mostafa Mokhtar
            Assignee: Tim Armstrong


While [~tlipcon] was investigating KRPC contention he noticed that MemPool::Allocate is doing 1MB allocations, which is somewhat of an anti-pattern with tcmalloc. 
During the tests MemPool was doing several thousand 1MB allocs per second and those have to do a full scan of the tcmalloc span linked list, which is very slow and only gets slower
 1040384 bytes on the other hand is constant time. 
 
It is not clear if a Power of 2 allocation size would help, worth experimenting with 512KB and 1040384 bytes. 
{code}

 /// The maximum size of chunk that should be allocated. Allocations larger than this
 /// size will get their own individual chunk.
 static const int MAX_CHUNK_SIZE = 8192*127

Also it appears that the thread above was a victim of thread below, yet allocations <1MB will make MemPool::Allocate content less over the CentralFreeList lock.
