High Memory Usage and Long GC Times When Writing Parquet Files

### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful details as possible.

In my project, I am using the following code to write Parquet files to the server:

> ParquetWriter parquetWriter = ExampleParquetWriter.builder(new Path(filePath))
.withConf(new Configuration())
.withType(messageType)
.build();

Each Parquet file contains 30000 columns. This code is executed by multiple threads simultaneously, which results in increased GC time. Upon analyzing memory usage, I found that the main memory consumers are related to the following chain:

InternalParquetRecordWriter -> ColumnWriterV1 -> FallbackValuesWriter -> PlainDoubleDictionaryValuesWriter -> IntList

Each thread writes to a file with the same table schema (header), differing only in the filePath.

I initially suspected that the memory usage was caused by the file buffer not being flushed in time. To address this, I tried configuring the writer with the following parameters:

> parquetWriter = ExampleParquetWriter.builder(new Path(filePath))
.withConf(new Configuration())
.withType(messageType)
.withMinRowCountForPageSizeCheck(SpringContextUtils.getApplicationContext()
.getBean(EtlTaskProperties.class).getMinRowCountForPageSizeCheck())
.withMaxRowCountForPageSizeCheck(SpringContextUtils.getApplicationContext()
.getBean(EtlTaskProperties.class).getMaxRowCountForPageSizeCheck())
.withRowGroupSize(SpringContextUtils.getApplicationContext()
.getBean(EtlTaskProperties.class).getRowGroupSize())
.build();

However, these adjustments did not solve the issue. The program still experiences long GC pauses and excessive memory usage.

Expected Behavior

Efficient Parquet file writing with reduced GC time and optimized memory usage when multiple threads are writing files simultaneously.

Observed Behavior
• Increased GC time and excessive memory usage.
• Memory analysis indicates IntList under PlainDoubleDictionaryValuesWriter is the primary consumer of memory.

Request

What are the recommended strategies to mitigate excessive memory usage in this scenario?
Is there a way to share table schema-related objects across threads, or other optimizations to reduce memory overhead?

Please let me know if additional information is needed!

Inizia dal punto di ingresso ExampleParquetWriter.builder e segui la catena segnalata InternalParquetRecordWriter → ColumnWriterV1 → FallbackValuesWriter → PlainDoubleDictionaryValuesWriter → IntList. Confronta le impostazioni esistenti per il conteggio delle righe e dei row group con lo scenario di scrittura concorrente. Done deve identificare un modo supportato per ridurre l’overhead di memoria e GC oppure documentare chiaramente perché gli oggetti correlati allo schema non possono essere condivisi tra i thread.
