Gopal V updated HIVE-7074:
--------------------------

    Attachment: HIVE-7074.1.patch

First cut patch to set reducer-parallelism to a prime number in the optimizer.

> The reducer parallelism should be a prime number for better stride protection

>
> The current hive reducer parallelism results in stride issues with key 
> distribution.
> a JOIN generating even numbers will get strided onto only some of the 
> reducers.
> The probability of distribution skew is controlled by the number of common 
> factors shared by the hashcode of the key and the number of buckets.
> Using a prime number within the reducer estimation will cut that probability 
> down by a significant amount.
