    Summary: hard limit on memory use by ORC writers  (was: hard limit on memory use by ORC writers per tag)

>                 Key: ORC-408
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-408
>             Project: ORC
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
>            Priority: Major
>
> Scenario: we want to hard-limit (within the constraints imposed by using Java) the memory used by a particular Hive task dedicated to ORC writing, to protect other tasks from misbehaving queries. This is similar to how we e.g. limit the memory used for hash join - when the hash table goes over the limit, the task fails.
> However, we currently cannot even hard-limit this for a single writer, much less for several writers combined, when they are writing.
> I wonder if it's possible to add two features to MemoryManager:
> 1) Grouping writers. A tag can be supplied externally (e.g. when creating the writer).
> 2) Hard-limiting the memory by tag - if the group exceeds the memory allowance, all the corresponding writers should be made to fail on next operation, via the callback.
