-----------------------------------

             Summary: For inner joins push a 'is not null predicate' to the 
join sources for every non nullSafe join condition
                 Key: HIVE-7159
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7159
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Harish Butani


A join B on A.x = B.y
can be transformed to
(A where x is not null) join (B where y is not null) on A.x = B.y

Apart from avoiding shuffling null keyed rows it also avoids issues with 
reduce-side skew when there are a lot of null values in the data.

Thanks to [~gopalv] for the analysis and coming up with the solution.
