Rui Li commented on HIVE-8043: ------------------------------ I looked more and found {{MergeFileTask}} uses {{HadoopJobExecHelper}} which sets the execution engine to MR in the constructor method. So I think we don't have to worry about the DDL task. > Support merging small files [Spark Branch] > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-8043 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8043 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Task > Components: Spark > Reporter: Xuefu Zhang > Assignee: Rui Li > Labels: Spark-M1 > Attachments: HIVE-8043.1-spark.patch, HIVE-8043.2-spark.patch > > > Hive currently supports merging small files with MR as the execution engine. > There are options available for this, such as > {code} > hive.merge.mapfiles > hive.merge.mapredfiles > {code} > Hive.merge.sparkfiles is already introduced in HIVE-7810. To make it work, we > might need a little more research and design on this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
