Github user YanjieGao commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/1134#issuecomment-48707013 Thanks Michael , (1) We could make it as a user hint ,like hive does . set hive.optimize.skewjoin = true; set hive.skewjoin.key = skew_key_threshold ï¼default = 100000ï¼ We could use set sparksql.optimize.skewjoin=true set sparksql.skewjoin.key=skew_key_threshold (2)We could use sample to found the relative num of the key and though skew_key_threshold which is user set can judge which key is over the threshold (3) toString will generate many singleton object . ,I will optimize the code in next step.
