Hi,
* Spark 1.5.2 on Hive 1.2.1 * Hive 1.2.1 on Spark 1.3.1 * Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 * Hadoop 2.6 I am running spark-sql using Hive metastore and I am pleasantly surprised by the speed by which Spark performs certain queries on Hive tables. I imported a 100 Million rows table from Oracle into a Hive staging table via Sqoop and then did an insert/select into an ORC table in Hive as defined below. +------------------------------------------------------------+--+ | createtab_stmt | +------------------------------------------------------------+--+ | CREATE TABLE `dummy`( | | `id` int, | | `clustered` int, | | `scattered` int, | | `randomised` int, | | `random_string` varchar(50), | | `small_vc` varchar(10), | | `padding` varchar(10)) | | CLUSTERED BY ( | | id) | | INTO 256 BUCKETS | | ROW FORMAT SERDE | | 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.OrcSerde' | | STORED AS INPUTFORMAT | | 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.OrcInputFormat' | | OUTPUTFORMAT | | 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.OrcOutputFormat' | | LOCATION | | 'hdfs://rhes564:9000/user/hive/warehouse/test.db/dummy' | | TBLPROPERTIES ( | | 'COLUMN_STATS_ACCURATE'='true', | | 'numFiles'='35', | | 'numRows'='100000000', | | 'orc.bloom.filter.columns'='ID', | | 'orc.bloom.filter.fpp'='0.05', | | 'orc.compress'='SNAPPY', | | 'orc.create.index'='true', | | 'orc.row.index.stride'='10000', | | 'orc.stripe.size'='16777216', | | 'rawDataSize'='33800000000', | | 'totalSize'='5660813776', | | 'transient_lastDdlTime'='1454234981') | +------------------------------------------------------------+--+ I am doing simple min,max functions on columns scattered and randomised from the above table that are not part of cluster etc in Hive. In addition, in Oracle there is no index on these columns as well. If I use Hive 1.2.1 on Spark 1.3.1 it comes back in 50.751 seconds select min(scattered), max(randomised) from dummy; INFO : Query Hive on Spark job[0] stages: INFO : 0 INFO : 1 INFO : Status: Running (Hive on Spark job[0]) INFO : Job Progress Format CurrentTime StageId_StageAttemptId: SucceededTasksCount(+RunningTasksCount-FailedTasksCount)/TotalTasksCount [StageCost] INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:05,114 Stage-0_0: 0/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:06,122 Stage-0_0: 0(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:09,165 Stage-0_0: 0(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:12,190 Stage-0_0: 2(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:14,201 Stage-0_0: 3(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:15,209 Stage-0_0: 4(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:17,218 Stage-0_0: 6(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:20,234 Stage-0_0: 8(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:22,245 Stage-0_0: 10(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:25,257 Stage-0_0: 12(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:27,270 Stage-0_0: 14(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:30,289 Stage-0_0: 16(+2)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:31,294 Stage-0_0: 17(+1)/18 Stage-1_0: 0/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:32,302 Stage-0_0: 18/18 Finished Stage-1_0: 0(+1)/1 INFO : 2016-01-31 22:55:33,309 Stage-0_0: 18/18 Finished Stage-1_0: 1/1 Finished INFO : Status: Finished successfully in 46.37 seconds +------+------+--+ | _c0 | _c1 | +------+------+--+ | 0 | 999 | +------+------+--+ 1 row selected (50.751 seconds) If I use Spark 1.5.2 on Hive 1.2.1 it comes back in 7.37 seconds (three runs) select min(scattered), max(randomised) from dummy; 16/01/31 22:59:30 INFO parse.ParseDriver: Parsing command: select min(scattered), max(randomised) from dummy 16/01/31 22:59:30 INFO parse.ParseDriver: Parse Completed 16/01/31 22:59:30 INFO Configuration.deprecation: mapred.map.tasks is deprecated.
