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? > Implement Indexing in Hive > -------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-417 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-417 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Metastore, Query Processor > Affects Versions: 0.2.0, 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.4.0 > Reporter: Prasad Chakka > Assignee: He Yongqiang > Attachments: hive-417.proto.patch, hive-417-2009-07-18.patch > > > Implement indexing on Hive so that lookup and range queries are efficient. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
