Enable reading StringView by default from Parquet (schema_force_string_view) by default #11682

Description

@alamb

Part of #11752

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

As part of #10918, @XiangpengHao has threaded the use of StringView through parquet, arrow-rs and then into DataFusion

When the datafusion.execution.parquet.schema_force_string_view option is enabled, the DataFusion Parquet reader will read all Utf8 columns as StringView instead, which results in significantly faster performance (details TBD but we will write it down in #11603 )

However, when initially merged #11667 this setting will be off by default

This ticket tracks what it would take to turn the setting on by default

Describe the solution you'd like

Change the default value of datafusion.execution.parquet.schema_force_string_view to true

Describe alternatives you've considered

Basically we should enable the flag by default and then run some benchmarks to ensure performance doesn't change by too much

    I am going to try and make #6906 work now

  8. alamb commented on Oct 10, 2024

    Update is here are the items I think are blocking us from enabling StringView

    Update is: I have an implementation of #6906 and thanks to @goldmedal we have an implementation of #12788 almost ready to test

    The final piece I know of is #12771 and @Rachelint has a good PR #12809 for that

    Update: we have enough of the pieces implemented thanks to @Rachelint and @goldmedal and @jayzhan211 so I have hacked it together in a branch and am now running the performance tests to try and get a final end to end performance numbers. I think we are (very) close

    See #12092 (comment) for details

    This is basically blocked on the next arrow-rs release apache/arrow-rs#6341 which is blocking #12788
