Hi, Flink people, a question about translation from HIVE Query to Flink fucntioin by using Table API. In sum up, I am working on some benchmark for flink
I am Philip Lee majoring in Computer Science in Master Degree of TUB. , I work on translation from Hive Query of Benchmark to Flink codes. As I stuided it, I have a few of questions. *First of all*, if there are people who do no know *Hive functions*, let me briefly explan. - *ORDER BY*: it just guarntees total order in the output. - *SORT BY*: it only guarntess ordering of the rows within a reducer. - *GROUP BY*: this is just groupBy function in SQL. - *DISTRIBUTE BY*: all rows with the same distributed by columns will go to the same reducer. - *CLUSTER BY*: this is just consisted of Distribute By the same column + Sort By the same column. I just want to check that the flink functions I use are equal to Hive one. < Hive SQL Query = Flink functions > - *ORDER BY* = sortPartition(,) - *SORT BY*= groupBy(`col).sortPartition(,) - *GROUP BY*: this is just groupBy function. - *DISTRIBUTE BY* = groupBy(`col) - *CLUSTER BY *= groupBy(`col).sortPartition(,) I do not see much difference between groupBy and distributed by if I apply it to flink function. If this is hadoop version, we could say mapper is distribute by on hadoop. However, I am not much sure what could be DISTRIBUTE BY on flink. I tried to guess groupBy on Flink could be the function which is to distribute the rows by the specified key. Please feel free to correct what I suggested. *Secondly*, I just want to make sure the difference between reduce function and reduceGroup. I guess there must be a trade-off between two functinos. I know reduceGroup is invoked with an Iterator, but which case is more proper and benifical to use reduceGroup function rather than reduce function?
