Arvind Prabhakar commented on HIVE-1139:
----------------------------------------
If there is interest, I can file a separate JIRA for modifying
{{HashMapWrapper}} to support the {{java.util.Map}} interface and decouple that
work from this JIRA. I think there is a lot of benefit in doing just that.
Also, we could have this JIRA depend upon that as a prerequisite.

>
> When a partial aggregation performed on a mapper, a HashMap is created to
> keep all distinct keys in main memory. This could leads to OOM exception when
> there are too many distinct keys for a particular mapper. A workaround is to
> set the map split size smaller so that each mapper takes less number of rows.
> A better solution is to use the persistent HashMapWrapper (currently used in
> CommonJoinOperator) to spill overflow rows to disk.
