Lianhui Wang commented on HIVE-4506: ------------------------------------ Fern, can you provide your sql? if these tables used the same column in join clause, it used one mr. example: explain SELECT /*+mapjoin(src2,src3)*/ src1.key, src3.value FROM src src1 JOIN src src2 ON (src1.key = src2.key) JOIN src src3 ON (src1.key = src3.key); > use one map reduce to join multiple small tables > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4506 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4506 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Wish > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Fern > Priority: Minor > > I know we can use map side join for small table. > by my test, if I use HQL like this > ------ > select /*+mapjoin(b,c)*/... > from a > left join b > on ... > left join c > on ... > ------- > b and c are both small tables, I expect do the join in one map reduce using > map side join. Actually, it would generate two map-reduce jobs by sequence. > Sorry, currently I am just a user of hive and not dig into the code, so this > is what I expect but I have no idea about how to improve now. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
