[jira] [Commented] (KUDU-3197) Tablet keeps all history schemas in
memory may result in high memory consumption
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-3197?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17242296#comment-17242296 ]
wangningito commented on KUDU-3197:
-----------------------------------
!image-2020-12-02-19-59-46-733.png!
a not elegant work around for this special case: replace table with new table within cluster in 2 steps
# copy data within cluster via 'kudu copy', thus new table has only latest schema
# drop old table and rename the new table to old one, (if has impala table, external change to true then false)

> In case of high frequency of updating table, memory consumption of kudu-tserver may be very high, and the memory in not tracked in the memory page.
> This is the memory usage of a tablet, the memory consumption of tablet-xxx‘s peak is 3.6G， but none of its' childrens' memory can reach.
> !image-2020-09-25-14-45-33-402.png!
> So I use pprof to get the heap sampling. The tserver started for long but the memory is still consuming by TabletBootstrap:PlayAlterSchemaRequest.

> I change the `old_schemas_` in tablet_metadata.h to a fixed size vector,
> // Previous values of 'schema_'.
> // These are currently kept alive forever, under the assumption that
> // a given tablet won't have thousands of "alter table" calls.
> // They are kept alive so that callers of schema() don't need to
> // worry about reference counting or locking.
> std::vector<Schema*> old_schemas_;
> The heap sampling then becomes

> So, to make application layer more flexible, it could be better to make the size of the old_schemas configurable.
