Hello! When i run hive job, it creates large temporary files on
/tmp/hive-ben/hive_2014-01-14_15-01-39_521_3015861149916225685-1/ somewhere around 300GB. this number tends to get larger if i use lower number of reducers. with 5 reducers the size goes up to 1TB my input files are total 1GB, but it's distributed with large number of keys on MR. what are these temp files for? Thanks! *Benjamin Kim* *benkimkimben at gmail*
