Eugene Koifman commented on HIVE-20332:
---------------------------------------
HIVE-20313 should be considered (though hard to say how much effort this would
be)
> Materialized views: Introduce heuristic on selectivity over ROW__ID to favour
> incremental rebuild

> Key: HIVE-20332
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20332
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Materialized views
> Reporter: Jesus Camacho Rodriguez
> Assignee: Jesus Camacho Rodriguez
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, we do not expose stats over {{ROW\_\_ID.writeId}} to the
> optimizer. Even if we did, we always assume uniform distribution of the
> column values, which can easily lead to overestimations on the number of rows
> read when we filter on {{ROW\_\_ID.writeId}} for materialized views (think
> about a large transaction for MV creation and then small ones for incremental
> maintenance). This overestimation can lead to incremental view maintenance
> not being triggered as cost of the incremental plan is overestimated (we
> think we will read more rows than we actually do). This could be fixed by
> introducing histograms that reflect better the column values distribution.
> Till that moment, we will use a config variable that will set the selectivity
> for filter condition on {{ROW\_\_ID}} during the cost calculation. Setting
> that variable to a low value will favour incremental rebuild over full
> rebuild.
