Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on HIVE-1408:
-----------------------------------------
yeah - so the solution is that the mapred.local.dir needs to be set correctly
in hive/hadoop client side xml. for our internal install - i will send a diff
changing the client side to point to /tmp (instead of having server side
config).
there's nothing to do on the hive open source version. mapred.local.dir is a
client only variable and needs to be set specific to the client side by the
admin. basically our internal client side config has a bug :-)
> add option to let hive automatically run in local mode based on tunable
> heuristics

> as a followup to HIVE-543 - we should have a simple option (enabled by
> default) to let hive run in local mode if possible.
> two levels of options are desirable:
> 1. hive.exec.mode.local.auto=true/false // control whether local mode is
> automatically chosen
> 2. Options to control different heuristics, some naiive examples:
> hive.exec.mode.local.auto.input.size.max=1G // don't choose local mode
> if data > 1G
> hive.exec.mode.local.auto.script.enable=true/false // choose if local
> mode is enabled for queries with user scripts
> this can be implemented as a pre/post execution hook. It makes sense to
> provide this as a standard hook in the hive codebase since it's likely to
> improve response time for many users (especially for test queries).
> the initial proposal is to choose this at a query level and not at per
> hive-task (ie. hadoop job) level. per job-level requires more changes to
> compilation (to not pre-commit to hdfs or local scratch directories at
> compile time).
