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

[~mmccline] could one say you are doing this as part of vectorized group by? :)

> So, something like a sum() GROUP BY will create a few hundred thousand
> AbstractAggregationBuffer objects all of which will suddenly go out of
> scope when the map.aggr flushes it down to the sort buffer.
> That particular GC collection takes forever because the tiny buffers take
> a lot of time to walk over and then they leave the memory space
> fragmented, which requires a compaction pass (which btw, writes to a
> page-interleaved NUMA zone).
> And to make things worse, the pre-allocated sort buffers with absolutely
> zero data in them take up most of the tenured regions causing these chunks
> of memory to be visited more and more often as they are part of the Eden
> space.
> {noformat}
> We need flat data structures to be GC friendly.
