I don't think Hbase-Hive integration part is that smart, be able to utilize the index existing in the HBase. But I think it depends on the version you are using. >From my experience, there are a lot of improvement space in the Hbase-hive >integration, especially "push down" logic into HBase engine. Yong
From: teddyyyy...@gmail.com Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2014 14:03:42 -0700 Subject: does the HBase-Hive integration support using HBase index (primary key or secondary index) in the JOIN implementatoin? To: user@hive.apache.org if I do a join of a table based on txt file and a table based on HBase, and say the latter is very large, is HIVE smart enough to utilize the HBase table's index to do the join, instead of implementing this as a regular map reduce job, where each table is scanned fully, bucketed on join keys, and then the matching items found out through the reducer? thanksYang
