Nick Dimiduk created SPARK-19609: ------------------------------------ Summary: Broadcast joins should pushdown join constraints as Filter to the larger relation Key: SPARK-19609 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19609 Project: Spark Issue Type: Improvement Components: SQL Affects Versions: 2.1.0 Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
For broadcast inner-joins, where the smaller relation is known to be small enough to materialize on a worker, the set of values for all join columns is known and fits in memory. Spark should translate these values into a {{Filter}} pushed down to the datasource. The common join condition of equality, i.e. {{lhs.a == rhs.a}}, can be written as an {{a in ...}} clause. An example of pushing such filters is already present in the form of {{IsNotNull}} filters via [~sameerag]'s work on SPARK-12957 subtasks. This optimization could even work when the smaller relation does not fit entirely in memory. This could be done by partitioning the smaller relation into N pieces, applying this predicate pushdown for each piece, and unioning the results. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
