Mikalai Parafeniuk commented on HIVE-1721: ------------------------------------------ Hello. I am Mikalaj Parafeniuk from Belarussian State University. I'm a third year student and I'm looking for a project to contribute in terms of GSoC 2012. I have already learned a basics about bloom filters from the internet and usefull links from this thread. But i need some further reading. Could you propose some? Also i need to learn Hive codebase. I want to achieve that by fixing small bugs. Could you give me the idea where can i start? > use bloom filters to improve the performance of joins > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1721 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1721 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Namit Jain > Labels: gsoc, gsoc2012, optimization > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
