He Yongqiang commented on HIVE-2845:
------------------------------------
With HIVE-1644, this should be done. Have you looked at the query plan, or
looked at the patch of HIVE-1644? Maybe Hive-1644 does not process join cases
(but the code is already there.) The filter needs to be pushed down to the
mapper to trigger the auto index.
> Add support for index joins in Hive
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-2845
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2845
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Indexing, Query Processor
> Reporter: Namit Jain
> Labels: indexing, joins, performance
>
> Hive supports indexes, which are used for filters currently.
> It would be very useful to add support for index-based joins in Hive.
> If 2 tables A and B are being joined, and an index exists on the join key of
> A,
> B can be scanned (by the mappers), and for each row in B, a lookup for the
> corresponding row in A can be performed.
> This can be very useful for some usecases.
