Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-549:
---------------------------------

We have a task called ConditionalTask which may or may not submit a mapreduce 
task at runtime. It's true that map-reduce jobs usually takes longer time, but 
given ConditionalTask it seems a better idea to treat all tasks the same when 
reporting progress.

I agree "1/7, 4/7 and 2/7" on the job tracker may seems bad, but user should 
see on the command line all 7 tasks starting and finishing.
We can print out task starting/finishing information on the command line for 
all tasks.
For example, every time a task starts/finishes, we can print out "Stage-3 
started.  Total: 7, Pending: 3, Running: 2, Finished: 2", or "Stage-3 finished. 
 Total: 7, Pending: 3, Running: 2, Finished: 2"

What do you think?

By the way, I am OK with finishing this issue first, and then do better 
progress information in a separate transaction if you want.

> In a massively parallel database system, it would be awesome to also 
> parallelize some of the mapreduce phases that our data needs to go through.
> One example that just occurred to me is UNION ALL: when you union two SELECT 
> statements, effectively you could run those statements in parallel. There's 
> no situation (that I can think of, but I don't have a formal proof) in which 
> the left statement would rely on the right statement, or vice versa. So, they 
> could be run at the same time...and perhaps they should be. Or, perhaps there 
> should be a way to make this happen...PARALLEL UNION ALL? PUNION ALL?
