> More efficient SQL queries for DBInputFormat
> --------------------------------------------

> Key: MAPREDUCE-885
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-885
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce

>
> DBInputFormat generates InputSplits by counting the available rows in a
> table, and selecting subsections of the table via the "LIMIT" and "OFFSET"
> SQL keywords. These are only meaningful in an ordered context, so the query
> also includes an "ORDER BY" clause on an index column. The resulting queries
> are often inefficient and require full table scans. Actually using multiple
> mappers with these queries can lead to O(n^2) behavior in the database, where
> n is the number of splits. Attempting to use parallelism with these queries
> is counter-productive.
> A better mechanism is to organize splits based on data values themselves,
> which can be performed in the WHERE clause, allowing for index range scans of
> tables, and can better exploit parallelism in the database.
