Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-3289: -------------------------------------- -1 bq. I also am not a fan of hive.mapred.mode If you turn it off, you may unintentionally turn off other checks, and it uses strict/nonstrict instead of true/false which is easier to validate. That's, at best, a problem for another JIRA, though, as it's fairly well established. I agree with Kevin, but I don't think this should be postponed for another JIRA. Please add a new configuration property now instead of further overloading what is already ill-defined and poorly documented configuration property. > sort merge join may not work silently > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3289 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3289 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: Namit Jain > > The user does not know, if the sort-merge join is working or not. > create table table_asc(key int, value string) CLUSTERED BY (key) SORTED BY > (key asc) > INTO 1 BUCKETS STORED AS RCFILE; > create table table_desc(key int, value string) CLUSTERED BY (key) SORTED BY > (key desc) > INTO 1 BUCKETS STORED AS RCFILE; > set hive.enforce.sorting = true; > insert overwrite table table_asc select key, value from src; > insert overwrite table table_desc select key, value from src; > set hive.optimize.bucketmapjoin = true; > set hive.optimize.bucketmapjoin.sortedmerge = true; > set hive.input.format = > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.BucketizedHiveInputFormat; > explain > select /*+mapjoin(a)*/ * from table_asc a join table_desc b on a.key = b.key; > select /*+mapjoin(a)*/ * from table_asc a join table_desc b on a.key = b.key; > explain > select /*+mapjoin(b)*/ * from table_asc a join table_desc b on a.key = b.key; > select /*+mapjoin(b)*/ * from table_asc a join table_desc b on a.key = b.key; > In the above test, the sort-merge join is not obeyed as expected. > If you user explicitly asked for sort-merge join, and it is not being > obeyed, the operation should fail. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
