Namit Jain commented on HIVE-3432: ---------------------------------- Conditional Task selects one task or the other. In case of map-joins, one local job reads the small table and fails/succeeds quickly. In this case, all the mappers will have to be tried, and then we may fail after a very long time. Moreover, it would be very difficult to know, that the task has failed due to memory overflow by the bucket. > perform a map-only group by is grouping key matches the sorting properties of > the table > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3432 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3432 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: Sambavi Muthukrishnan > > There should be an option to use bucketizedinputformat and use map-only group > by.
