             Summary: Optimize split grouping for CombineHiveInputFormat [Spark 
Branch]
                 Key: HIVE-9339
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9339
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Spark
            Reporter: Xuefu Zhang


It seems that split generation, especially in terms of grouping inputs, needs 
to be improved. For this, we may need cluster information. Because of this, we 
will first try to solve the problem for Spark.

As to cluster information, Spark doesn't provide an API (SPARK-5080). However, 
Spark doesn't have a listener API, with which Spark driver can get 
notifications about executor going up/down, task starting/finishing, etc. With 
this information, Spark client should be able to have a view of the current 
cluster image.

Spark developers mentioned that the listener can only be created after 
SparkContext is started, at which time, some executions may have already 
started and so the listener will miss some information. This can be fixed. File 
a JIRA with Spark project if necessary.
