> Broadcast Hint for SQL Queries
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-16475
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16475
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Reynold Xin
> Labels: releasenotes

>
> Broadcast hint is a way for users to manually annotate a query and suggest to
> the query optimizer the join method. It is very useful when the query
> optimizer cannot make optimal decision with respect to join methods due to
> conservativeness or the lack of proper statistics.
> The DataFrame API has broadcast hint since Spark 1.5. However, we do not have
> an equivalent functionality in SQL queries. We propose adding Hive-style
> broadcast hint to Spark SQL.
> For more information, please see the attached document. One note about the
> doc: in addition to supporting "MAPJOIN", we should also support
> "BROADCASTJOIN" and "BROADCAST" in the comment, e.g. the following should be
> accepted:
> {code}
> SELECT /*+ MAPJOIN(b) */ ...
> SELECT /*+ BROADCASTJOIN(b) */ ...
> SELECT /*+ BROADCAST(b) */ ...
> {code}
