[jira] [Assigned] (SPARK-25164) Parquet reader builds entire list
of columns once for each column

------------------------------------
Assignee: Apache Spark
> Parquet reader builds entire list of columns once for each column
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-25164
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25164
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Reporter: Bruce Robbins
> Assignee: Apache Spark
> Priority: Minor
>
> {{VectorizedParquetRecordReader.initializeInternal}} loops through each column, and for each column it calls
> {noformat}
> requestedSchema.getColumns().get(i)
> {noformat}
> However, {{MessageType.getColumns}} will build the entire column list from getPaths(0).
> {noformat}
> public List<ColumnDescriptor> getColumns() {
> List<String[]> paths = this.getPaths(0);
> List<ColumnDescriptor> columns = new ArrayList<ColumnDescriptor>(paths.size());
> for (String[] path : paths) {
> // TODO: optimize this
> PrimitiveType primitiveType = getType(path).asPrimitiveType();
> columns.add(new ColumnDescriptor(
> path,
> primitiveType,
> getMaxRepetitionLevel(path),
> getMaxDefinitionLevel(path)));
> }
> return columns;
> }
> {noformat}
> This means that for each parquet file, this routine indirectly iterates colCount*colCount times.
> This is actually not particularly noticeable unless you have:
> - many parquet files
> - many columns
> To verify that this is an issue, I created a 1 million record parquet table with 6000 columns of type double and 67 files (so initializeInternal is called 67 times). I ran the following query:
> {noformat}
> sql("select * from 6000_1m_double where id1 = 1").collect
> {noformat}
> I used Spark from the master branch. I had 8 executor threads. The filter returns only a few thousand records. The query ran (on average) for 6.4 minutes.
> Then I cached the column list at the top of {{initializeInternal}} as follows:
> {noformat}
> List<ColumnDescriptor> columnCache = requestedSchema.getColumns();
> {noformat}
> Then I changed {{initializeInternal}} to use {{columnCache}} rather than {{requestedSchema.getColumns()}}.
> With the column cache variable, the same query runs in 5 minutes. So with my simple query, you save %22 of time by not rebuilding the column list for each column.
> You get additional savings with a paths cache variable, now saving 34% in total on the above query.
