Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6429: -------------------------------------- *hive.mapjoin.optimized.keys* needs a definition ... but I'm not sure where, because that depends on the state of HIVE-6037 which will put the config param definitions into HiveConf.java and then generate hive-default.xml.template from HiveConf.java. See comment on HIVE-6455 for details (but note that HIVE-6037 has been reopened): [17 Feb 2014 22:26 comment |https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6455?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13903744#comment-13903744]. So if this commits before HIVE-6037, *hive.mapjoin.optimized.keys* should be documented in hive-default.xml.template as usual but if it commits after HIVE-6037 a definition should be added to the patched version of HiveConf.java. In any case, I'll add it to the wiki with a release note. > MapJoinKey has large memory overhead in typical cases > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6429 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6429 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin > Assignee: Sergey Shelukhin > Attachments: HIVE-6429.01.patch, HIVE-6429.02.patch, > HIVE-6429.03.patch, HIVE-6429.WIP.patch, HIVE-6429.patch > > > The only thing that MJK really needs it hashCode and equals (well, and > construction), so there's no need to have array of writables in there. > Assuming all the keys for a table have the same structure, for the common > case where keys are primitive types, we can store something like a byte array > combination of keys to reduce the memory usage.
