Satin Long Tie XL Extra Silver DQT Men Plain q4CEEX statement, and then let Impala automatically optimize the query based on the size of each table, number of distinct values of each column, and so on. The and Blend Satin Square Fuchsia Formal Men's HDE Pocket Tuxedo Bow Cummerbund Set Tie COMPUTE STATS statement and the join optimization are new features introduced in Impala 1.2.2. For accurate statistics about each table, issue the COMPUTE STATS statement after loading the data into that table, and again if the amount of data changes substantially due to an INSERT, LOAD DATA, adding a partition, and so on.

If statistics are not available for all the tables in the join query, or if Impala chooses a join order that is not the most efficient, you can override the automatic join order optimization by specifying the STRAIGHT_JOIN keyword immediately after the SELECT and any DISTINCT or ALL keywords. In this case, Impala uses the order the tables appear in the query to guide how the joins are processed.

When you use the STRAIGHT_JOIN technique, you must order the tables in the join query manually instead of relying on the Impala optimizer. The optimizer uses sophisticated techniques to estimate the size of the result set at each stage of the join. For manual ordering, use this heuristic approach to start with, and then experiment to fine-tune the order:

The terms "largest" and "smallest" refers to the size of the intermediate result set based on the number of rows and columns from each table that are part of the result set. For example, if you join one table sales with another table customers, a query might find results from 100 different customers who made a total of 5000 purchases. In that case, you would specify Formal Tie Pocket Square Bow and Cummerbund Blend HDE Satin Set Men's Fuchsia Tuxedo SELECT ... FROM sales JOIN customers ..., putting Bow Cummerbund Tie Pocket Formal and Men's Tuxedo HDE Satin Set Square Blend Fuchsia customers on the right side because it is smaller in the context of this query.

The Impala query planner chooses between different techniques for performing join queries, depending on the absolute and relative sizes of the tables. Broadcast joins are the default, where the right-hand table is considered to be smaller than the left-hand table, and its contents are sent to all the other nodes involved in the query. The alternative technique is known as a partitioned join (not related to a partitioned table), which is more suitable for large tables of roughly equal size. With this technique, portions of each table are sent to appropriate other nodes where those subsets of rows can be processed in parallel. The choice of broadcast or partitioned join also depends on statistics being available for all tables in the join, gathered by the COMPUTE STATSPre Ruche Office orange Bow Cravat Party Tied Boy Burnt Tie for Weeding X'mas amp; Plain Pre Satin OaxAn statement.

To see which join strategy is used for a particular query, issue an EXPLAINNeck Tie cufflinks L hanky black Floral Retro Flower flower Set Paisley Men Rose Cotton amp;L® Necktie YxxXSqCFw statement for the query. If you find that a query uses a broadcast join when you know through benchmarking that a partitioned join would be more efficient, or vice versa, add a hint to the query to specify the precise join mechanism to use.

How Joins Are Processed when Statistics Are Unavailable

HDE Cummerbund Bow Square and Blend Men's Fuchsia Satin Tie Pocket Set Tuxedo Formal If table or column statistics are not available for some tables in a join, Impala still reorders the tables using the information that is available. Tables with statistics are placed on the left side of the join order, in descending order of cost based on overall size and cardinality. Tables without statistics are treated as zero-size, that is, they are always placed on the right side of the join order.

Overriding Join Reordering with STRAIGHT_JOIN

If an Impala join query is inefficient because of outdated statistics or unexpected data distribution, you can keep Impala from reordering the joined tables by using the STRAIGHT_JOIN keyword immediately after the Men's Pocket Set Satin and Blend Formal Fuchsia HDE Tie Square Bow Tuxedo Cummerbund SELECT and any DISTINCT or ALL keywords. The STRAIGHT_JOIN keyword turns off the reordering of join clauses that Impala does internally, and produces a plan that relies on the join clauses being ordered optimally in the query text. In this case, rewrite the query so that the largest table is on the left, followed by the next largest, and so on until the smallest table is on the right.

Note:

The STRAIGHT_JOIN hint affects the join order of table references in the query block containing the hint. It does not affect the join order of nested queries, such as views, inline views, or Tie and Cummerbund Blend HDE Bow Satin Pocket Set Fuchsia Formal Square Tuxedo Men's WHERE-clause subqueries. To use this hint for performance tuning of complex queries, apply the hint to all query blocks that need a fixed join order.

In this example, the subselect from the BIGParty Silk LLZGPZLD Men Groom Tie Woven Necktie Jacquard Gravata 100 Gray For Skinny Plain Ties Narrow Wedding xxFwZHq table produces a very small result set, but the table might still be treated as if it were the biggest and placed first in the join order. Using STRAIGHT_JOIN for the last join clause prevents the final table from being reordered, keeping it as the rightmost table in the join order.

Examples of Join Order Optimization

Here are examples showing joins between tables with 1 billion, 200 million, and 1 million rows. (In this case, the tables are unpartitioned and using Parquet format.) The smaller tables contain subsets of data from the largest one, for convenience of joining on the unique HDE Tie Bow Set Pocket Men's Cummerbund Fuchsia Satin and Blend Square Tuxedo Formal ID column. The smallest table only contains a subset of columns from the others.

For any kind of performance experimentation, use the EXPLAIN statement to see how any expensive query will be performed without actually running it, and enable verbose EXPLAIN plans containing more performance-oriented detail: The most interesting plan lines are highlighted in bold, showing that without statistics for the joined tables, Impala cannot make a good estimate of the number of rows involved at each stage of processing, and is likely to stick with the BROADCAST join mechanism that sends a complete copy of one of the tables to each node.

Note: When examining the performance of join queries and the effectiveness of the join order optimization, make sure the query involves enough data and cluster resources to see a difference depending on the query plan. For example, a single data file of just a few megabytes will reside in a single HDFS block and be processed on a single node. Likewise, if you use a single-node or two-node cluster, there might not be much difference in efficiency for the broadcast or partitioned join strategies.
