Namit Jain created HIVE-3289: -------------------------------- Summary: sort merge join may not work silently Key: HIVE-3289 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3289 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Namit Jain
The user does not know, if the sort-merge join is working or not. create table table_asc(key int, value string) CLUSTERED BY (key) SORTED BY (key asc) INTO 1 BUCKETS STORED AS RCFILE; create table table_desc(key int, value string) CLUSTERED BY (key) SORTED BY (key desc) INTO 1 BUCKETS STORED AS RCFILE; set hive.enforce.sorting = true; insert overwrite table table_asc select key, value from src; insert overwrite table table_desc select key, value from src; set hive.optimize.bucketmapjoin = true; set hive.optimize.bucketmapjoin.sortedmerge = true; set hive.input.format = org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.BucketizedHiveInputFormat; explain select /*+mapjoin(a)*/ * from table_asc a join table_desc b on a.key = b.key; select /*+mapjoin(a)*/ * from table_asc a join table_desc b on a.key = b.key; explain select /*+mapjoin(b)*/ * from table_asc a join table_desc b on a.key = b.key; select /*+mapjoin(b)*/ * from table_asc a join table_desc b on a.key = b.key; In the above test, the sort-merge join is not obeyed as expected. If you user explicitly asked for sort-merge join, and it is not being obeyed, the operation should fail. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
