Hi everyone,
I'd like to create a change request (or JIRA, not sure), do you think it's
feasible? And I search the document about how to contribute, but can't find a
way about how to create a request, could anyone point me to the document?

a simple usage: for retailer data, which keep 10 years of data, that's 10 *
365 =3650 records in the calendar dimension, if there are 8000 stores and 8000
products, totally the sales will have 8000 * 8000 * 3650 =233,600,000,000
records if we has one record for each product/day/store combination. And to
join the fact data (sales) with product, day, store, it will be much effective
to hash product, day, store, and then probe use the sales as it will only scan
the sales table once.
If it is not possible in the current implementation, how to do you think to
create a request to implement it in the future?

I am not aware of any optimization that does something like that. Anyone?
Also your suggestion means 10 hash tables would have to be in memory.
I think that with a normal map-reduce join in hive you can join 10 tables at
once (meaning in a single map-reduce) if they all join on the same key.

Thanks, it works, but not as effective as possible:
suppose we join 10 small tables (s1,s2...s10) with one huge table (big) in a
database house system (the join is between big table and small table, like star
schema), after I set the parameters as you set, it will have 10 mapside join,
after one mapside join competes, it will write huge data to file system (as one
table is huge), then the next mapside join need to read the hug data written to
do another mapside join, so totally we need to read the huge data 11 times and
write it 10 times（as the last write only return small data volume). The best
execution plan I can think of is: first build 10 hash table: one for each small
table, and loop each row in the big table, if the row survive, just output, if
not then discard, in this way we only need to read the big data once, instead
of read big data, write big data, read big data, ...
flow is:
1: build 10 hash table
2: foreach row in big table
probe the row with each of these 10 hash table
if match all these 10 hash table, go to next step (output, etc)
else discard the row.
end loop

A mapjoin does what you described: it builds hash tables for the smaller
tables. In recent versions of hive (like the one i am using with cloudera
cdh3u1) a mapjoin will be done for you automatically if you have your
parameters set correctly. The relevant parameters in hive-site.xml are:
hive.auto.convert.join, hive.mapjoin.maxsize and
hive.mapjoin.smalltable.filesize. On the hive command line it will tell you
that it is building the hashtable, and it will not run a reducer.

The Mapjoin hint syntax help optimize by loading the smaller tables specified
in the Mapjoin hint into memory. Then every small table is in memory of each
mapper.

Subject: multiple tables join with only one hug table.
if the retailer fact table is sale_fact with 10B rows, and join with 3 small
tables: stores (10K), products(10K), period (1K). What's the best join solution?
In oracle, it can first build hash for stores, and hash for products, and hash
for stores. Then probe using the fact table, if the row matched in stores, that
row can go up further to map with products by hashing check, if pass, then go
up further to try to match period. In this way, the sale_fact only needs to be
scanned once which save lots of disk IO. Is this doable in hive, if doable,
what hint need to use?
