Summary: SQL: read only necessary fields into the row when possible
Key: IGNITE-7948
URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-7948 Project: Ignite
Issue Type: Task
Components: sql
Reporter: Vladimir Ozerov
Assignee: Vladimir Ozerov
When H2 row is read, we always fill it with data eagerly through link materialization. Materialization is performed under page "read lock" what guarantees row-level consistency. This may lead to excessive memory pressure due to memory copying. For example, consider a class with 50 fields and a query which reads only 2 of them. 48 other fields will be copied without a reason. Lazy initialization is not an option because it will only defer memcpy, but not eliminate it.
Instead we can try using H2. It passes {{TableFilter}} class to some of index access methods*. We can analyze this class and create the list of required fields. Then we can read these fields under read lock from offheap and put them to the row.
In addition to saved memcpy this could give us more benefits:
1) No more need for field cache ({{GridH2KeyValueRowOnheap#valCache}})
2) No more need to read {{_VER}} column and possibly {{_KEY}} or {{_VAL}}
But there are a number of drawbacks as well. E.g. it is impossible to read strings from offheap efficiently, so queries with VARCHAR will definitely suffer from this change.
