Min Zhou commented on HIVE-556:
-------------------------------
it's very common for us, and blocked us badly. we ofen have one or more aux
tables with about 10k records, which the major table would do theta joins on. I
don't think current solution by the means of cartesian product is a good way,
it would bring so terrible sorting and i/o overhead to us.
> let hive support theta join

> Key: HIVE-556
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-556
> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.4.0
> Reporter: Min Zhou
> Fix For: 0.4.0
>
>
> Right now , hive only support equal joins . Sometimes it's not enough, we
> must consider implementing theta joins like
> {code:sql}
> SELECT
> a.subid, a.id, t.url
> FROM
> tbl t JOIN aux_tbl a ON t.url rlike a.url_pattern
> WHERE
> t.dt='20090609'
> AND a.dt='20090609';
> {code}
> any condition expression following 'ON' is appropriate.
