Chao Sun created HIVE-15477: ------------------------------- Summary: Provide options to adjust filter stats when column stats are not available Key: HIVE-15477 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15477 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Statistics Affects Versions: 2.2.0 Reporter: Chao Sun Assignee: Chao Sun
Currently when column stats are not available, Hive will assume the "worst" case by setting the # of output rows to be 1/2 of the # of input rows, for each predicate expression. This could be inaccurate, especially in the presence of multiple predicates chained by AND. We have found in some cases this could cause map join to have wrong ordering and thus fail with memory issue. One suggestion is to provide a config (such as {{hive.stats.filter.factor}}) that can be used to control the percentage of rows emitted by a predicate expression. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
