Hi Jingsong,
Thanks for the feedback.

> Is there a conclusion about naming here? (Maybe I missed something?)
Use USE_HASH or some other names. Slightly confusing in the FLIP.

'SHUFFLE_HASH' is final hint name, 'USE_HASH' is rejected. I've updated the
FLIP.

> And the problem of what to write inside the hint, as mentioned by Lincoln.

I agree with Lincolon to only include one 'build' side table name only.
Besides, Lookup Join only support dimension table as build table, it does
not support left input as build table because Lookup join is always
triggered by left side.

> I think maybe we can list the grammars of other distributed systems,
like Hive Spark(Databricks) Snowflake?

I add the grammars of other distributed systems(oracle, spark, impala, SQL
Server) in FLIP.

[1] Oracle USE_Hash hint
<https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B12037_01/server.101/b10752/hintsref.htm#5683>
SELECT /*+ USE_HASH(l h) */ *
  FROM orders h, order_items l
  WHERE l.order_id = h.order_id
    AND l.order_id > 3500;


[2] Spark SHUFFLE_HASH hint
<https://docs.databricks.com/spark/latest/spark-sql/language-manual/sql-ref-syntax-qry-select-hints.html>
SELECT /*+ SHUFFLE_HASH(t1) */ * FROM t1 INNER JOIN t2 ON t1.key = t2.key;


[3] IMPALA SHUFFLE hint
<https://impala.apache.org/docs/build/html/topics/impala_hints.html>
SELECT straight_join weather.wind_velocity, geospatial.altitude
  FROM weather JOIN /* +SHUFFLE */ geospatial
  ON weather.lat = geospatial.lat AND weather.long = geospatial.long;


[4] SQL Server Hash Keyword
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/queries/hints-transact-sql-join?view=sql-server-ver15>
SELECT p.Name, pr.ProductReviewID FROM Production.Product AS p LEFT OUTER
HASH JOIN Production.ProductReview AS pr ON p.ProductID = pr.ProductID ORDER
 BY ProductReviewID DESC;


Hive does not have similar grammars because shuffle join is default join
behavior of Hive. it only have map join hint  grammars.

I didn't find the similar query hint in Snowflake yet.


> About `SHUFFLE_HASH(left_table, right_table)`, one case can be shared:

SELECT * FROM left_t
  JOIN right_1 ON ...
  JOIN right_2 ON ...
  JOIN right_3 ON ...

What if we want to use shuffle_hash for all three joints?

SELECT /*+ SHUFFLE_HASH('left_t', 'right_1', 'right_2', 'right_3') */ ?

It does not work, because the left input of the second join is not
'left_t' anymore. It is the output of the first join.

Good point.
As mentioned before, now SHUFFLE_HASH hint only requires to specify build
table name.
So in the above case,
SELECT /*+ SHUFFLE_HASH('right_1', 'right_2', 'right_3') */
  * FROM left_t
  JOIN right_1 ON ...
  JOIN right_2 ON ...
  JOIN right_3 ON
It means require shuffle on lookup join which contain dimension table with
name as 'right_1' or 'right_2' or 'right_3'.

WDYT?

Best,
Jing Zhang
