Re: Hive query taking too much time
Hi, In your case total file size isn't main factor that reduces performance, number of files is. To test this try merging those over 2000 files into one (or few) big, then upload it to HDFS and test hive performance (it should be definitely higher). It this works you should think about merging those files before or after loading them to HDFS. Second issue is counts, try to observe how your jobs uses mappers and reducers, my experience is that simple count() jobs might be stuck on one reducer (the one that does all counting) for longer time. I have not resolved this issue, but it was not significant in my case. set mapred.reduce.tasks=xyz doesn't change that behavior, but for example using GROUP with COUNT works much faster. I hope this helps. -- Wojciech Langiewicz On 06.12.2011 12:00, Savant, Keshav wrote: Hi All, My setup is hadoop-0.20.203.0 hive-0.7.1 I am having a total of 5 node cluster: 4 data nodes, 1 namenode (it is also acting as secondary name node).

Re: Hive query taking too much time
How about a simple Pig script with a load and a store statement? Set the max # reducers to say 20 or 30, that way you will only have 20-30 files as output. Then put these files in the Hive dir. Make sure to match the delimiters in Hive Pig. -Ayon See My Photos on Flickr Also check out my Blog for answers to commonly asked questions.
