Re: Hive huge 'startup time'
Hello everyone, Thanks for sharing valuable inputs. I am working on similar kind of task, it will be really helpful if you can share the command for increasing the heap size of hive-cli/launching process.

Re: Hive huge 'startup time'
Sweet, great answers, thanks. Indeed, I have a small number of partitions, but lots of small files, ~20MB each. I'll make sure to combine them. Also, increasing the heap size of the cli process already helped speed it up. Thanks, again.

Re: Hive huge 'startup time'
The planning phase needs to do work for every hive partition and every hadoop files. If you have a lot of 'small' files or many partitions this can take a long time. Also the planning phase that happens on the job tracker is single threaded. Also the new yarn stuff requires back and forth to allocated containers. Sometimes raising the heap to for the hive-cli/launching process helps because the default heap of 1 GB may not be a lot of space to deal with all of the partition information and memory overhead will make this go faster. Sometimes setting the min split size higher launches less map tasks which speeds up everything. So the answer...Try to tune everything, start hive like this: bin/hive -hiveconf hive.root.logger=DEBUG,console And record where the longest spaces with no output are, that is what you should try to tune first.

Re: Hive huge 'startup time'
may be you can post your partition structure and the query..Over partitioning data is one of the reasons it happens.

Hive huge 'startup time'
This is probably a simple question, but I'm noticing that for queries that run on 1+TB of data, it can take Hive up to 30 minutes to actually start the first map-reduce stage. What is it doing? I imagine it's gathering information about the data somehow, this 'startup' time is clearly a function of the amount of data I'm trying to process. Cheers,
