[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-9070) Improve performance of
RocksDBMapState.clear()
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9070?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16429383#comment-16429383 ]

-----------------------------------
Hi [~kien_truong] I also share my idea for improving this here
[https://github.com/sihuazhou/flink/commit/6ff501416487608633e19aea7ff32c181e6e09b7|https://github.com/sihuazhou/flink/commit/6ff501416487608633e19aea7ff32c181e6e09b7]
It base on the follow things
- Using RocksIterator to iterate the records directly (currently we use the RocksDBMapIterator, witch will buffer the records and may also need to perform seeking multi times.)
- Using WriteBatch to perform deleting in bulk.
What do you think?

> Key: FLINK-9070
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9070
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Truong Duc Kien
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, RocksDBMapState.clear() is implemented by iterating over all the keys and drop them one by one. This iteration can be quite slow with:
> * Large maps
> * High-churn maps with a lot of tombstones
> There are a few methods to speed-up deletion for a range of keys, each with their own caveats:
> * DeleteRange: still experimental, likely buggy
> * DeleteFilesInRange + CompactRange: only good for large ranges
>
> Flink can also keep a list of inserted keys in-memory, then directly delete them without having to iterate over the Rocksdb database again.
