Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-417:
------------------------------------

1) Are you worried about the sort phase of the reducer or the IndexBuilder's 
reducer code? I don't think former issue will be a problem. The later issue can 
be avoided by writing multiple rows for a key if the number of offsets exceed a 
certain limit. So reducer can flush the offsets periodically to disk thus 
avoiding OutOfMemory exceptions in reducer.

2) What are the other options for the index output format?
