bucketized map join should allow join key as a superset of bucketized columns -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2284 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2284 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Ning Zhang Assignee: Ning Zhang Currently bucketized mapjoin only allow the join keys being exactly the same as bucketized columns. This is too restrictive and is missing some optimization opportunities. If tables S and T are both bucketized on column A with the same # of buckets, and the query is something like: <code> SELECT /*+ MAPJOIN (S) */ ... FROM S join T ON (S.A = T.A AND S.B = T.B) </code> We should allow bucketized mapjoin since it's straightforward that bucket 1 from S join with bucket 2 from T on such join condition must be empty. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
