implement lfu based flushing policy for map side aggregates -----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-224 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-224 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma currently we flush some random set of rows when the map side hash table approaches memory limits. we have discussed a strategy of flushing hash table entries that have the been seen the least number of times (effectively LFU flushing strategy). This will be very effective at reducing the amount of data sent from map to reduce step - as well as reduce the chances for any skews. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
