Row-groups & Stripe splits
Protobuf Metadata Storage+
+
Type-safe Vectorization+
Hive ACID transactions+
Single SerDe for Format+

Columnar Storage
Storage Performance
● Compress each column differently
● Detect & compress common sub-sequences
● Auto-increment ids
● String Enums
● Large Integers (uid scale)
● Unique strings (UUIDS)
Read Performance
● Column projection
● Columnar deserializers
● Data locality
Write Throughput
● Stats auto-gather

Row-groups & Stripe splits
Split Parallelism
● Effective parallelism
● No seeks to find boundaries
● No splits with zero data
● Decompress fixed chunks
Stripes
● Single unsplittable chunk
● Will reside in 1 HDFS block entirely
● Is self-contained for all read ops

A Single SerDe for all ORC Files
A Single Writer
● No mismatch of serialization
● Forward compatibility
Readers
● Multiple reader implementations
● Allows for vector readers
● And row-mode readers
● Similar loop – good JIT hit-rate

Protobuf Metadata Storage
Standardized Metadata
● Readers are easier to write
● Metadata readers are auto-generated
Metadata Forward Compatibility
● Protobuf Optional fields
Statistics Storage in Metadata
● Standard serialization for stats
● Allows for PPD into the IO layer

Type-safe Vectorization
Schema on Write
● Write ORC Structs with types
● SerDe & Inputformat
Read Performance
● Data is read with few copies
● Primitive types are fast
● Primitives are also unboxed
● Predicates are typed too

ORC: ETL Improvements

● Compress IS_NULL bitsets lightly
● Compress Integers differently from Doubles
● Compress string dictionaries differently
● Allow for user choice

Large Columns vs More Columns
● Adjust when >1000 columns
Trade offs
● Compression
● Low memory use
More additions
● Dynamically partitioned insert

ORC: Streaming Ingest + ACID
Broken pattern: Partitions for Atomicity-
- Isolation & Consistency on retries+
Transactions are pluggable (txn.manager)+
Cache/Replication friendly (base + deltas)+

ORC: Row Indexes
Min-Max pruning
● Evaluate on statistics

ORC: Vectorization + SIMD
Advantage of a Single SerDe
● Primitive Types
Allocation free tight inner loops
● JDK8 has auto-vectorization
Vectorized Early Filter
● Vectors can be filtered early in ORC
● StringDictionary can be used to binary-search
Vectorized SIMD Join
● Performance for single key joins

ORC: Split Strategies + Tez Grouping
Amdahl’s Law
● As fast as the slowest task
● Slice work thinly, but not too thin
Split-generation vs Execution time
● ETL
● BI
● Hybrid
Split-grouping & estimation
● ColumnarSplit size
● Group by estimate, not file size
● Bucket pruning
Slow split

ORC: LLAP
- JIT Performance for short queries+
Row-group level caching+
Asynchronous IO Elevator+
+ Multi-threaded Column Vector processing+
