Core: Stream DV Puffin rewrite in RewriteTablePathUtil to reduce memory pressure #15924

Open

Description

@manuzhang

Feature Request / Improvement

Description

RewriteTablePathUtil.rewriteDVFile currently rewrites deletion vector (DV) Puffin files by reading all rewritten blobs into an in-memory list before writing them out, which can create unnecessary memory pressure when rewriting larger DV files or files with many blobs.

Suggested improvement

Refactor RewriteTablePathUtil.rewriteDVFile to stream rewritten blobs directly to the output PuffinWriter while iterating through the source blobs, instead of collecting all rewritten blobs into a temporary list first.

    Hi, is this issue still free to pick up? I notice the PR has gone stale. I have an implementation ready and happy to open a PR.
