Namit Jain commented on HIVE-3260: ---------------------------------- I agree - there is a alter table command alter TABLE <TBL_NAME> CLUSTERED BY (<COLS>) INTO <n> BUCKETS; But, the partition number of buckets are not used anywhere. Should we just disallow alter table number of buckets in strict mode if there are some partitions present in the table ? > support bucketed mapjoin where the small table has different number of > buckets for different partitons > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-3260 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3260 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Namit Jain > > Consider the following scenario: > A (1 partition) join B (2 partitions) > A has 2 buckets, whereas B has 2 and 4 buckets for different partitions. > The bucketed mapjoin should still work. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
