sorted merge join ----------------- Key: HIVE-1194 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1194 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: New Feature Components: Query Processor Reporter: Namit Jain Assignee: He Yongqiang Fix For: 0.6.0
If the input tables are sorted on the join key, and a mapjoin is being performed, it is useful to exploit the sorted properties of the table. This can lead to substantial cpu savings - this needs to work across bucketed map joins also. Since, sorted properties of a table are not enforced currently, a new parameter can be added to specify to use the sort-merge join. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
