That is a good point. The ORC table property is as follows
TBLPROPERTIES ( "orc.compress"="SNAPPY", "orc.stripe.size"="268435456", "orc.row.index.stride"="10000") which puts each stripe at 256MB Just to clarify this is spark running on Hive tables. I don't think the use of TEZ, MR or Spark as execution engines is going to make any difference? This is the same query with Hive on MR select a.prod_id from sales2 a, sales_staging b where a.prod_id = b.prod_id order by a.prod_id; 2016-06-28 23:23:51,203 Stage-1 map = 0%, reduce = 0% 2016-06-28 23:23:59,480 Stage-1 map = 50%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 7.32 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:08,771 Stage-1 map = 55%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 18.21 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:11,860 Stage-1 map = 58%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 22.34 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:18,021 Stage-1 map = 62%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 30.33 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:21,101 Stage-1 map = 64%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 33.45 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:24,181 Stage-1 map = 66%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 37.5 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:27,270 Stage-1 map = 69%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 42.0 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:30,349 Stage-1 map = 70%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 45.62 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:33,441 Stage-1 map = 73%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 49.69 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:36,521 Stage-1 map = 75%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 52.92 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:39,605 Stage-1 map = 77%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 56.78 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:42,686 Stage-1 map = 80%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 60.36 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:45,767 Stage-1 map = 81%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 63.68 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:48,842 Stage-1 map = 83%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 66.92 sec 2016-06-28 23:24:51,918 Stage-1 map = 100%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 70.18 sec 2016-06-28 23:25:52,354 Stage-1 map = 100%, reduce = 0%, Cumulative CPU 127.99 sec 2016-06-28 23:25:57,494 Stage-1 map = 100%, reduce = 67%, Cumulative CPU 134.64 sec 2016-06-28 23:26:57,847 Stage-1 map = 100%, reduce = 67%, Cumulative CPU 141.01 sec which basically sits at 67% all day Dr Mich Talebzadeh LinkedIn * https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEAAAAWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw <https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEAAAAWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw>* http://talebzadehmich.wordpress.com *Disclaimer:* Use it at your own risk.
