Rui Li commented on HIVE-10458: ------------------------------- Hi [~xuefuz], I believe there's nothing special for MR when fetching the results. Anyway, the fetch task doesn't even need an execution engine to run. And if I mess up the order of the splits, we always get incorrect results, no matter whether we're on MR or spark. Did a little bit more search and found this may be related to HADOOP-10798. In the comments, guys did mention that local filesystem doesn't guarantee order on Linux. I think it's because local filesystem uses {{File::list}} whose JavaDoc specifies there's no specific order of the returned files. > Enable parallel order by for spark [Spark Branch] > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-10458 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10458 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Spark > Reporter: Rui Li > Assignee: Rui Li > Attachments: HIVE-10458.1-spark.patch, HIVE-10458.2-spark.patch, > HIVE-10458.3-spark.patch > > > We don't have to force reducer# to 1 as spark supports parallel sorting. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
