Emil Ibrishimov commented on HIVE-591: -------------------------------------- To support the Hive1 syntax, we will add a PRESERVE keyword to specify which tables to preserve. For example, to preserve tables A and C: FROM UNIQUEJOIN A(a.c1,a.c2) PRESERVE, B(b.c1,b.c2), C(c.c1,c.c2) PRESERVE... The sources of UNIQUEJOINs can only be tables (no subquery support for now) > create new type of join ( 1 row for a given key from multiple tables) > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-591 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-591 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: Emil Ibrishimov > Attachments: HIVE-591.1.patch > > > It will be useful to support a new type of join: > say: > select .. from JOIN TABLES (A,B,C) WITH KEYS (A.key, B.key, C.key) where .... > The semantics are that for a given key only 1 row is created - nulls are > present for the the tables which do not contain a row for that key. > There is no limit on the number of tables, the number of keys should be the > same as the number of tables. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
