Schubert Zhang commented on HIVE-417: ------------------------------------- {quote} Prasad Chakka added a comment - 15/Apr/09 11:25 AM Another way of doing it is to create a file format that contains index along with data... but i think that would take lot more time. {quote} We are trying to store data in sorted and block-indexed files (such as HFile or TFile). Then I think we can know the startKey and lastKey of each file and each block. This block index(block summary) is just for primary key. > Implement Indexing in Hive > -------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-417 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-417 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Metastore, Query Processor > Affects Versions: 0.2.0, 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.4.0 > Reporter: Prasad Chakka > Assignee: He Yongqiang > Attachments: hive-417.proto.patch, hive-417-2009-07-18.patch > > > Implement indexing on Hive so that lookup and range queries are efficient. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
