BELUGA BEHR created HIVE-18448:
----------------------------------
Summary: Drop Support For Indexes From Apache Hive
Key: HIVE-18448
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18448
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Indexing
Reporter: BELUGA BEHR
Priority: Minor
If a user needs to look up a small subset of records quickly, they can use
Apache HBase, if they need fast retrieval of larger sets of data, or fast
joins, aggregations, they can use Apache Impala. It seems to me that Hive
indexes do not serve much of a role in the future of Hive.
Even without moving workloads to other products, columnar file formats with
their statistics achieve similar goals as Hive indexes.
Please consider dropping Indexes from the Apache Hive project.
