It will OOM if any one of them overflows.

The grace hash-join works really well when the memory side is a primary
key and doesn't have these sort of skews.


The real problem with the shuffle hash-join is that it amplifies the
skews, since it is doing distributions on the hashcode of the join keys.

Unfortunately, it will only start spilling after it overflows
"hive.auto.convert.join.noconditionaltask.size" or 55% of the heap.

set hive.mapjoin.followby.gby.localtask.max.memory.usage=0.1;


    // Get the total available memory from memory manager
    long totalMapJoinMemory = desc.getMemoryNeeded();
    LOG.info("Memory manager allocates " + totalMapJoinMemory + " bytes
for the loading hashtable.");
    if (totalMapJoinMemory <= 0) {
      totalMapJoinMemory = HiveConf.getLongVar(
        hconf, 
HiveConf.ConfVars.HIVECONVERTJOINNOCONDITIONALTASKTHRESHOLD);
    }

    long processMaxMemory =
ManagementFactory.getMemoryMXBean().getHeapMemoryUsage().getMax();
    if (totalMapJoinMemory > processMaxMemory) {
      float hashtableMemoryUsage = HiveConf.getFloatVar(
          hconf, HiveConf.ConfVars.HIVEHASHTABLEFOLLOWBYGBYMAXMEMORYUSAGE);
      LOG.warn("totalMapJoinMemory value of " + totalMapJoinMemory +
          " is greater than the max memory size of " + processMaxMemory);
      // Don't want to attempt to grab more memory than we have available
.. percentage is a bit arbitrary
      totalMapJoinMemory = (long) (processMaxMemory *
hashtableMemoryUsage);
    }


If you can devise an example using TPC-DS schema on hive-testbench, I can
run it locally and tell you what's happening.
