>
> If the input to the map join is larger than a specific threshold, it may lead
> to a very slow execution of the join.
> It is better to throw an error, and let the user redo his query as a non
> map-join query.
> However, the current map-reduce framework will retry the mapper 4 times
> before actually killing the job.
> Based on a offline discussion with Dhruba, Ning and myself, we came up with
> the following algorithm:
> Keep a threshold in the mapper for the number of rows to be processed for
> map-join. If the number of rows
> exceeds that threshold, set a counter and kill that mapper.
> The client (ExecDriver) monitors that job continuously - if this counter is
> set, it kills the job and also
> shows an appropriate error message to the user, so that he can retry the
> query without the map join.
