Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-4689: ---------------------------------------- I am not super aware of this config. What exactly does it govern? It seems like it for buffering rows pulled from reducer iterator in memory. So, we are trading speed with memory utilization with config. Is that correct? In that case think it makes sense to disable this altogether for outer join case. > For outerjoins, joinEmitInterval might make wrong result > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4689 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4689 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Navis > Assignee: Navis > Attachments: HIVE-4689.D11211.1.patch > > > Alias filter tag is calculated for each group and used for outer joins.
