Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on HIVE-1721:
-----------------------------------------
@Siyin - that's a good question. I don't know statistically how common it is -
but we have heard requests along these lines. for example one use case is that
one project wants to get some data for a reasonably large subset of the users.
one use case we have seen was where 0.2% of users were interesting - but even
0.2% is very large for us. people also use semi-joins and that pretty much says
that people want to filter rows out.
> use bloom filters to improve the performance of joins

> In case of map-joins, it is likely that the big table will not find many
> matching rows from the small table.
> Currently, we perform a hash-map lookup for every row in the big table, which
> can be pretty expensive.
> It might be useful to try out a bloom-filter containing all the elements in
> the small table.
> Each element from the big table is first searched in the bloom filter, and
> only in case of a positive match,
> the small table hash table is explored.
