Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-5093:
---------------------------------------
I am thinking we should not do this. Hive uses map side aggregation as an
alternative to combiners. Also I feel like designing and maintaining tons of
code around limit optimizations is a waste. Who will benefit from this and how
often? If you have a problem like this better not to use hive.
> Use a combiner for LIMIT with GROUP BY and ORDER BY operators

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5093
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Query Processor
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0
> Reporter: Gopal V
> Assignee: Gopal V
> Attachments: HIVE-5093-WIP-01.patch

>
> Operator trees of the following structure can have a memory friendly combiner
> put in place after the sort-phase
> "GBY-LIM" and "OBY-LIM"
> This will cut down on I/O when spilling to disk and particularly during the
> merge phase of the reducer.
> There are two possible combiners - LimitNKeysCombiner and
> LimitNValuesCombiner.
> The first one would be ideal for the GROUP-BY case, while the latter would
> more useful for the ORDER-BY case.
> The combiners are still relevant even if there are 1:1 forward operators on
> the reducer side and for small data items, the MR base layer does not run the
> combiners at all.
