> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma
>
> currently we flush some random set of rows when the map side hash table
> approaches memory limits.
> we have discussed a strategy of flushing hash table entries that have the
> been seen the least number of times (effectively LFU flushing strategy). This
> will be very effective at reducing the amount of data sent from map to reduce
> step - as well as reduce the chances for any skews.
