Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-2925: -------------------------------------- *hive.fetch.task.conversion* is documented in the wiki here, next to the other fetch task parameters: * [Configuration Properties -- hive.fetch.task.conversion | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-hive.fetch.task.conversion] Question 1: What does RS mean in the parameter description: "should not have any aggregations or distincts (which incurs RS)"? Is it ReduceSinkOperator as in HIVE-5056? Question 2: What do "LIMIT only" and "LIMIT only (TABLESAMPLE, virtual columns)" mean? I don't see why the latter is less restrictive than the former, even after checking the wiki: [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Select#LanguageManualSelect-LIMITClause]. Question 3: Does FILTER just mean the WHERE and HAVING clauses? If it isn't syntax, shouldn't it be lowercase in the explanations of minimal and more (and STAR be *)? # minimal: SELECT *, filter on partition columns, LIMIT only # more: SELECT, filter, LIMIT only (TABLESAMPLE, virtual columns) > Support non-MR fetching for simple queries with select/limit/filter > operations only > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2925 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2925 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Navis > Assignee: Navis > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 0.10.0 > > Attachments: ASF.LICENSE.NOT.GRANTED--HIVE-2925.D2607.1.patch, > ASF.LICENSE.NOT.GRANTED--HIVE-2925.D2607.2.patch, > ASF.LICENSE.NOT.GRANTED--HIVE-2925.D2607.3.patch, > ASF.LICENSE.NOT.GRANTED--HIVE-2925.D2607.4.patch, HIVE-2925.1.patch.txt, > HIVE-2925.2.patch.txt, HIVE-2925.3.patch.txt > > > It's trivial but frequently asked by end-users.
