Nadeem Moidu commented on HIVE-3286:
------------------------------------
Here is the other JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3086 .
I'm not sure if using the list bucketing schema constricts you (the phrase
"list bucketed by" has been removed from it). List bucketing was anyway solving
a problem caused by skew, so there was no point expecting the user to give the
skew information more than once.
This seems to be solving a slightly different problem, e.g. I don't allow
ranges.
> Explicit skew join on user provided condition
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-3286
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3286
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Query Processor
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0
> Reporter: Navis
> Assignee: Navis
> Priority: Minor
>
> Join operation on table with skewed data takes most of execution time
> handling the skewed keys. But mostly we already know about that and even know
> what is look like the skewed keys.
> If we can explicitly assign reducer slots for the skewed keys, total
> execution time could be greatly shortened.
> As for a start, I've extended join grammar something like this.
> {code}
> select * from src a join src b on a.key=b.key skew on (a.key+1 < 50, a.key+1
> < 100, a.key < 150);
> {code}
> which means if above query is executed by 20 reducers, one reducer for
> a.key+1 < 50, one reducer for 50 <= a.key+1 < 100, one reducer for 99 <=
> a.key < 150, and 17 reducers for others (could be extended to assign more
> than one reducer later)
> This can be only used with common-inner-equi joins. And skew condition should
> be composed of join keys only.
> Work till done now will be updated shortly after code cleanup.
