Brock Noland commented on HIVE-1608: ------------------------------------ A couple of notes on this one: 1) Most of the test failures look to be related to the .q.out files being different (referencing TextFile output class not SequenceFile) 2) This change as-is would be backwards incompatible for INSERT OVERWRITE DIRECTORY users. Thus I think we need: 1) Leave the default of TextFile for INSERT OVERWRITE DIRECTORY 2) Update the .q.out files > use sequencefile as the default for storing intermediate results > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1608 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1608 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Query Processor > Affects Versions: 0.7.0 > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: Brock Noland > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-1608.patch > > > The only argument for having a text file for storing intermediate results > seems to be better debuggability. > But, tailing a sequence file is possible, and it should be more space > efficient -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
