Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-417:
------------------------------------
the plan looks good. i am not sure we need to create sparse index on the dense
index in phase 1. In most cases the size of dense index will be small enough so
that additional mr job for processing the sparse index will become unnecessary.
if sparse index is not necessary then there is not need for the dense index be
sorted.
since the dense index is scanned completely while processing the query, we can
use the index if any predicate column exists in index definition.
