Xuefu Zhang created HIVE-7527: --------------------------------- Summary: Support order by and sort by on Spark Key: HIVE-7527 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7527 Project: Hive Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Spark Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
Currently Hive depends completely on MapReduce's sorting as part of shuffling to achieve order by (global sort, one reducer) and sort by (local sort). Spark has a sort by transformation in different variations that can used to support Hive's order by and sort by. However, we still need to evaluate weather Spark's sortBy can achieve the same functionality inherited from MapReduce's shuffle sort. Currently Hive on Spark should be able to run simple sort by or order by, by changing the currently partitionBy to sortby. This is the way to verify theories. Complete solution will not be available until we have complete SparkPlanGenerator. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
