----------------------------------
>>> Does this rule out bucketed map-join or hive.optimize.bucketmapjoin will

That will continue to work.
>>> Also, does this rule out map join of multiple small tables in a single
>>> map-only job? As discussed on HIVE-3652, giving map-join hints to a nested
>>> join automatically converts it into a single map-join map.
No. If the join key is the same, it will be a single MR job as today.
With different join keys, it needs some work to merge into a single MR anyway -
that work is independent of this change.
As I said before, with this jira, everything that explicitly needs a map-join
hint will continue to work as is.
Whatever is being de-supported did not need a explicit mapjoin hint in the
first place.

> hive.auto.convert.join has been around for a long time, and is pretty stable.
> When mapjoin hint was created, the above parameter did not exist.
> The only reason for the user to specify a mapjoin currently is if they want
> it to be converted to a bucketed-mapjoin or a sort-merge bucketed mapjoin.
> Eventually, that should also go away, but that may take some time to
> stabilize.
> There are many rules in SemanticAnalyzer to handle the following trees:
> ReduceSink -> MapJoin
> Union -> MapJoin
> MapJoin -> MapJoin
> This should not be supported anymore. In any of the above scenarios, the
> user can get the mapjoin behavior by setting hive.auto.convert.join to true
> and not specifying the hint. This will simplify the code a lot.
> What does everyone think ?
