Namit Jain commented on HIVE-1605: ---------------------------------- That's right - the changes look good in that case > regression and improvements in handling NULLs in joins > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-1605 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1605 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ning Zhang > Assignee: Ning Zhang > Attachments: HIVE-1605.2.patch, HIVE-1605.3.patch, HIVE-1605.patch > > > There are regressions in sort-merge map join after HIVE-741. There are a lot > of OOM exceptions in SMBMapJoinOperator. This caused by the HashMap > maintained for each key to remember whether it is NULL. This takes too much > memory when the tables are large. > A second issu is in handling NULLs if the join keys are more than 1 column. > This appears in regular MapJoin as well as SMBMapJoin. The code only checks > if all the columns are NULL. It should return false in match if any joined > value is NULL. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
