Hi On a first look, it seems like map join is happening in your case other than bucketed map join. The following conditions need to hold for bucketed map join to work 1) Both the tables are bucketed on the join columns 2) The number of buckets in each table should be multiples of each other 3) Ensure that the table has enough number of buckets
Note: If the data is large say 1TB(per table) and if you have just a few buckets say 100 buckets, each mapper may have to load 10GB>. This would definitely blow your jvm . Bottom line is ensure your mappers are not heavily loaded with the bucketed data distribution.
