             Summary: HoS: Possible skew in shuffling when data is not really 
skewed
                 Key: HIVE-17114
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17114
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Rui Li
            Assignee: Rui Li
            Priority: Minor


Observed in HoS and may apply to other engines as well.
When we join 2 tables on a single int key, we use the key itself as hash code 
in {{ObjectInspectorUtils.hashCode}}:
{code}
      case INT:
        return ((IntObjectInspector) poi).get(o);
{code}
Suppose the keys are different but are all some multiples of 10. And if we 
choose 10 as #reducers, the shuffle will be skewed.
