He Yongqiang commented on HIVE-3086: ------------------------------------ 'hint' by user has been proven not very useful. Automatically detecting skewed keys, like what the current skew join processor is doing now, will make it more powerful and useful. @Nadeem, can you add more details to the wiki about the differences between the existing one and the one you are working on. The current one can not process the case where a same join key is skewed in more than one table. Are you targeting those cases? Also there are some problems with existing skew join opt, can you also try to fix those as part of your project? > Skewed Join Optimization > ------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-3086 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3086 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Nadeem Moidu > Assignee: Nadeem Moidu > > During a join operation, if one of the columns has a skewed key, it can cause > that particular reducer to become the bottleneck.
