You can do the SQL like following: select *, case when key >= 1 and key <=10 then 1 when key >= 11 and key <= 20 then 2 ...... else 10 end as bucket_idfrom your table See the conditional functions "case" in the HIVE. After you have "bucket_id" column, then you can do whatever analytic function you want. Yong

Let me see if I can understand what you're suggesting, so the whole data set, when I load them into Spark(I'm using custom Hadoop InputFormat), I will add an extra field to each element in RDD, like bucket_id. For example Key: 1 - 10, bucket_id=111-20, bucket_id=2...90-100, butcket_id =10 then I can re-partition the RDD with a partitioner that will put all records with the same bucket_id in the same partition, after I get DataFrame from the RDD, the partition is still preserved(is it correct?) then reset of work is only issue SQL query like SELECT * from XXX where bucket_id=1SELECT * from XXX where bucket_id=2 .. Am I right?

In this case, the full dataset will be just scanned once.

SELECT * from XXXX where key>=key1 AND key <key2 So my question is which one is better from performance perspective? Thanks -- --Anfernee -- --Anfernee
