Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6429:
--------------------------------------

Just for the record, *hive.mapjoin.optimized.keys* is documented in the wiki 
with the description added to hive-default.xml.template by HIVE-6188:

bq. Whether MapJoin hashtable should use optimized (size-wise) keys, allowing 
the table to take less memory. Depending on key, the memory savings for entire 
table can be 5-15% or so.

> MapJoinKey has large memory overhead in typical cases

> 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. Will probably speed up 
> compares too.
