Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-5793: -------------------------------------- > So does a negative value mean that file lengths are not calculated, therefore > fetch task conversion will always occur if hive.fetch.task.conversion is true? [~gopalv] explained in a comment on HIVE-3990 ([https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3990?focusedCommentId=14052977&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14052977]): {quote} -1 does not mean "disabled". it means "infinite" {quote} But the description says "Input threshold for applying hive.fetch.task.conversion" and not "Input threshold for converting to a fetch task -- so presumably the "minimal" or "more" setting of hive.fetch.task.conversion still has an effect. Anyway, all three fetch task parameters are documented in the wiki here: * [Configuration Properties -- hive.fetch.task.conversion | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-hive.fetch.task.conversion] * [Configuration Properties -- hive.fetch.task.aggr | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-hive.fetch.task.aggr] * [Configuration Properties -- hive.fetch.task.conversion.threshold | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-hive.fetch.task.conversion.threshold] > Update hive-default.xml.template for HIVE-4002 > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5793 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5793 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Configuration > Reporter: Navis > Assignee: Navis > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 0.13.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-5793.1.patch.txt, HIVE-5793.2.patch.txt, > HIVE-5793.3.patch.txt > > > Addressing > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3990?focusedCommentId=13818388&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13818388 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
