Hi Reynold, I just check the code for CollectLimit, there is a shuffle happening to collect them in one partition.
protected override def doExecute(): RDD[InternalRow] = { val shuffled = new ShuffledRowRDD( ShuffleExchange.prepareShuffleDependency( child.execute(), child.output, SinglePartition, serializer)) shuffled.mapPartitionsInternal(_.take(limit)) } Thus, there is no way to avoid processing all data before the shuffle. I think that is the reason. Do I understand correctly? Thanks.

As I said, it goes through an iterator and after processing each stream side we do a shouldStop check.

After processing every row on the stream side, the generated code for broadcast join checks whether it has hit the limit or not (through this thing called shouldStop). It is not the most optimal solution, because a single stream side row might output multiple hits, but it is usually not a problem.

I believe that is what Rajesh is suggesting.

This becomes problematic if not all keys are present on both sides; in such a case a limit can produce fewer rows than the set limit. This might be a rare case in which whole stage codegen is slower, due to the fact that we need to buffer the result of such a stage. You could try to disable it by setting "spark.sql.codegen.wholeStage" to false. 2016-04-12 14:32 GMT+02:00 Rajesh Balamohan <rajesh.balamo...@gmail.com<mailto:rajesh.balamo...@gmail.com>>: Hi, I ran the following query in spark (latest master codebase) and it took a lot of time to complete even though it was a broadcast hash join. It appears that limit computation is done only after computing complete join condition. Shouldn't the limit condition be pushed to BroadcastHashJoin (wherein it would have to stop processing after generating 10 rows?).
