Can we have a feature to disable creating empty buckets on a larger number of buckets creates? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2814 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2814 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Nitin Pawar Priority: Minor When we create buckets on a larger datasets, its not often that all the partitions have same number of buckets so we choose the largest possible number to capture the buckets mostly. It results into creating lot of empty buckets, which might be an overhead of hadoop as well as for hive queries. Also it takes a lot of time to just create empty buckets. Is there a way where I can say do not create empty buckets? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
