Ashish Thusoo commented on HIVE-1139:
-------------------------------------

Arvind, I thought the whole point of this JIRA was to make HashMapWrapper to 
support java.util.Map, no? If that would be a separate JIRA, what would this 
one be for? Sorry for being a bit dense here but if you could clarify that 
would be great.

Thanks,
Ashish

> When a partial aggregation performed on a mapper, a HashMap is created to 
> keep all distinct keys in main memory. This could leads to OOM exception when 
> there are too many distinct keys for a particular mapper. A workaround is to 
> set the map split size smaller so that each mapper takes less number of rows. 
> A better solution is to use the persistent HashMapWrapper (currently used in 
> CommonJoinOperator) to spill overflow rows to disk.
