I would suggest trying: set hive.hadoop.supports.splittable.combineinputformat = true;
you might also need to increase mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.split.minsize to something larger, like 32MB set mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.split.minsize = 33554432; Depending on your hadoop distro and version, be potentially aware of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1597 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5537 test it and see...

So it looks like the splittable support is turned off? I've been seeing some posts on the mailing list saying there's correctness problems when using this and LZO. Is this still the case? Can I turn this on with LZ4? Thanks!

When I run a query on this table for a single day, I'm getting 1 mapper per file even though the input format is set to CombineHiveInputFormat. Does anyone know if CombineHiveInputFormat does not work with LZ4 compressed files or have any idea why split combination is not working? Thanks!
