Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-4002:
---------------------------------------
This is a nice feature. There are times when I know that count(distinct(col))
and other operations like the one you have requested produce small result sets
and the shuffle is the bottleneck. I do like this feature but turning it on
manually is cumbersome for the end user.
I wonder if we can convert the last step at runtime somehow.(Probably not
easily but that would be nice)
> Fetch task aggregation for simple group by query
> ------------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-4002
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4002
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Query Processor

> Aggregation queries with no group-by clause (for example, select count(*)
> from src) executes final aggregation in single reduce task. But it's too
> small even for single reducer because the most of UDAF generates just single
> row for map aggregation. If final fetch task can aggregate outputs from map
> tasks, shuffling time can be removed.
> This optimization transforms operator tree something like,
> TS-FIL-SEL-GBY1-RS-GBY2-SEL-FS + FETCH-TASK
> into
> TS-FIL-SEL-GBY1-FS + FETCH-TASK(GBY2-SEL-LS)
> With the patch, time taken for auto_join_filters.q test reduced to 6 min (10
> min, before).
