Hive之简单查询不启用MapReduce

假设你想查询某个表的某一列。Hive默认是会启用MapReduce Job来完毕这个任务，例如以下：

01	hive> SELECT id, money FROM m limit 10;

02	Total MapReduce jobs = 1

03	Launching Job 1 out of 1

04	Number of reduce tasks is set to 0 since there's no reduce operator

05	Cannot run job locally: Input Size (= 235105473) is larger than

06	hive.exec.mode.local.auto.inputbytes.max (= 134217728)

07	Starting Job = job_1384246387966_0229, Tracking URL =

08

09	http://l-datalogm1.data.cn1:9981/proxy/application_1384246387966_0229/

11	Kill Command = /home/q/hadoop-2.2.0/bin/hadoop job

12	-kill job_1384246387966_0229

13	hadoop job information forStage-1: number of mappers: 1;

14	number of reducers: 0

15	2013-11-13 11:35:16,167 Stage-1 map = 0%,  reduce = 0%

17	Cumulative CPU 1.26 sec

18	2013-11-13 11:35:22,377 Stage-1 map = 100%,  reduce = 0%,

19	Cumulative CPU 1.26 sec

20	MapReduce Total cumulative CPU time: 1 seconds 260 msec

21	Ended Job = job_1384246387966_0229

22	MapReduce Jobs Launched:

　　我们都知道，启用MapReduce Job是会消耗系统开销的。对于这个问题。从Hive0.10.0版本号開始，对于简单的不须要聚合的类似SELECT <col> from <table> LIMIT n语句，不须要起MapReduce job，直接通过Fetch task获取数据，能够通过以下几种方法实现：

　　方法一：

01	hive> set hive.fetch.task.conversion=more;

02	hive> SELECT id, money FROM m limit 10;

03

OK

04	1       122

05	1       185

06	1       231

07	1       292

08	1       316

09	1       329

10	1       355

11	1       356

12	1       362

13	1       364

14	Time taken: 0.138 seconds, Fetched: 10 row(s)

上面 set hive.fetch.task.conversion=more;开启了Fetch任务，所以对于上述简单的列查询不在启用MapReduce job！

　　方法二：

1	bin/hive --hiveconf hive.fetch.task.conversion=more

　　方法三：

上面的两种方法都能够开启了Fetch任务，可是都是暂时起作用的；假设你想一直启用这个功能。能够在${HIVE_HOME}/conf/hive-site.xml里面增加下面配置：

01	<property>

02	<name>hive.fetch.task.conversion</name>

03	<value>more</value>

04	<description>

05	Some select queries can be converted to single FETCH task

06	minimizing latency.Currently the query should be single

07	sourced not having any subquery and should not have

08	any aggregations or distincts (which incurrs RS),

09	lateral views and joins.

10	1. minimal : SELECT STAR, FILTER on partition columns, LIMIT only

11	2. more    : SELECT, FILTER, LIMIT only (+TABLESAMPLE, virtual columns)

12	</description>

13	</property>

这样就能够长期启用Fetch任务了，非常不错吧。也赶紧去试试吧！
