Navis commented on HIVE-3972: ----------------------------- Top-K optimization is already on HIVE-3562 and seemed orthogonal with this issue. And top-k will make this further less useful. The reason why I made this is that there are so many statements like 'hive is quite inefficient handling order by cause its ran by single reducer' and I just hate hear that. This is not important issue but can be a start point for other optimization exploiting ordered traits from multiple bucket files. Added configuration means number of reducer for lastly order-by MR stage. -1 means it will be decided by usual calculation. 0 means disabling this. > Support using multiple reducer for fetching order by results > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-3972 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3972 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Navis > Assignee: Navis > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HIVE-3972.D8349.1.patch > > > Queries for fetching results which have lastly "order by" clause make final > MR run with single reducer, which can be too much. For example, > {code} > select value, sum(key) as sum from src group by value order by sum; > {code} > If number of reducer is reasonable, multiple result files could be merged > into single sorted stream in the fetcher level. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
