Nitin Yeah. My original question is that is there a way to force Hive (or rather to say, is it possible) to execute map side join at mapper phase and group by in reduce phase. So instead of launching a map only job (join) and map reduce job (group by), doing it altogether in a single MR job. This is obviously not what Hive does but I am wondering if it is a nice feature to have.
The point you made (different keys in join and group by) only matters when it is the time in reduce phase, right? As map side join takes care of join at mapper phase, it sounds to me natural that group by can be done in the reduce phase in the same job. The only hassle that I can think of is that map output have to be resorted (based on group by keys).
