[jira] Commented: (HIVE-502) Optimize RCFile's performance by removeing all synchronized modifiers

["Zheng Shao (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-502?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12711948#action_12711948 ] 

Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-502:
---------------------------------

In the future if needed, we can add synchronized keyword to RCFile's read/write methods.
These methods will be called once per row, so the cost is much smaller than what we had - once per row per column.

> Tests by Zheng and me both show that removing all synchronized modifiers can improve RCFile's performance by  about 15+%.
> This will make RCFile's reader and writer not thread safe any longer. This will be ok,since hive always does its work in single thread.
