Siying Dong commented on HIVE-1194: ----------------------------------- Yongqiang, can you add a test case that the "big table" is generated from "select * from XXX where XXX" and make sure the 3-way joining query works well? > sorted merge join > ----------------- > > Key: HIVE-1194 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1194 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: He Yongqiang > Fix For: 0.6.0 > > Attachments: hive-1194-2010-02-28.patch, hive-1194-2010-3-2.2.patch, > hive-1194-2010-3-2.patch > > > If the input tables are sorted on the join key, and a mapjoin is being > performed, it is useful to exploit the sorted properties of the table. > This can lead to substantial cpu savings - this needs to work across bucketed > map joins also. > Since, sorted properties of a table are not enforced currently, a new > parameter can be added to specify to use the sort-merge join. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
