Namit Jain commented on HIVE-647:
---------------------------------
Are you sure - I just tried the same query and it works for me - are you using
trunk ?
Also, can you look at the plan file and search for numReducers
(the plan file for the second job)
The plan file can be found by: hive.exec.plan from the tracker
> SORT BY with GROUP ignored without LIMIT

> Key: HIVE-647
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-647
> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Query Processor
> Reporter: Bill Graham
>
> For queries with GROUP BY and SORT BY, the sort is not handled properly when
> a LIMIT is not supplied. If I run the following two queries, the first
> returns properly sorted results. The second does not.
> SELECT user, SUM(numRequests) AS num FROM MyTable GROUP BY user SORT BY num
> DESC LIMIT 50;
> SELECT user, SUM(numRequests) AS num FROM MyTable GROUP BY user SORT BY num
> DESC;
> Explain is different for the two queries as well. The first uses 3 M/R jobs
> and the second only uses 2, which might be part of the problem.
