pietro pinoli commented on FLINK-685:
-------------------------------------
Dear [~fhueske], are you (community) still interested in this?
I am developing a project for genomics which relies on Flink, and having such
feature may help us a lot.
I would love to take it, but I guess I'll need some help from you (or some
other guy), so as to get started:)
Let me know.
Thanks,
Pietro.
> Add support for semi-joins
> --------------------------

> Key: FLINK-685
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-685
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: GitHub Import
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: github-import
> Fix For: pre-apache
>
>
> A semi-join is basically a join filter. One input is "filtering" and the
> other one is "filtered".
> A tuple of the "filtered" input is emitted exactly once if the "filtering"
> input has one (ore more) tuples with matching join keys. That means that the
> output of a semi-join has the same type as the "filtered" input and the
> "filtering" input is completely discarded.
> In order to support a semi-join, we need to add an additional physical
> execution strategy, that ensures, that a tuple of the "filtered" input is
> emitted only once if the "filtering" input has more than one tuple with
> matching keys. Furthermore, a couple of optimizations compared to standard
> joins can be done such as storing only keys and not the full tuple of the
> "filtering" input in a hash table.
