Vikram Dixit K created HIVE-4611: ------------------------------------ Summary: SMB joins fail based on bigtable selection policy. Key: HIVE-4611 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4611 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Processor Affects Versions: 0.11.0 Reporter: Vikram Dixit K Assignee: Vikram Dixit K Fix For: 0.11.1
The default setting for hive.auto.convert.sortmerge.join.bigtable.selection.policy will choose the big table as the one with largest average partition size. However, this can result in a query failing because this policy conflicts with the big table candidates chosen for outer joins. This policy should just be a tie breaker and not have the ultimate say in the choice of tables. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
