Optimizing Hive SQL Logic
Scenario
When SQL statements are executed on Hive, if the (a&b) or (a&c) logic exists in the statements, you are advised to change the logic to a & (b or c).
Example
If condition a is p_partkey = l_partkey, the statements before optimization are as follows:
select sum(l_extendedprice* (1 - l_discount)) as revenue from lineitem, part where ( p_partkey = l_partkey and p_brand = 'Brand#32' and p_container in ('SM CASE', 'SM BOX', 'SM PACK', 'SM PKG') and l_quantity >= 7 and l_quantity <= 7 + 10 and p_size between 1 and 5 and l_shipmode in ('AIR', 'AIR REG') and l_shipinstruct = 'DELIVER IN PERSON' ) or ( p_partkey = l_partkey and p_brand = 'Brand#35' and p_container in ('MED BAG', 'MED BOX', 'MED PKG', 'MED PACK') and l_quantity >= 15 and l_quantity <= 15 + 10 and p_size between 1 and 10 and l_shipmode in ('AIR', 'AIR REG') and l_shipinstruct = 'DELIVER IN PERSON' ) or ( p_partkey = l_partkey and p_brand = 'Brand#24' and p_container in ('LG CASE', 'LG BOX', 'LG PACK', 'LG PKG') and l_quantity >= 26 and l_quantity <= 26 + 10 and p_size between 1 and 15 and l_shipmode in ('AIR', 'AIR REG') and l_shipinstruct = 'DELIVER IN PERSON' )
The statements after optimization are as follows:
select sum(l_extendedprice* (1 - l_discount)) as revenue from lineitem, part where p_partkey = l_partkey and (( p_brand = 'Brand#32' and p_container in ('SM CASE', 'SM BOX', 'SM PACK', 'SM PKG') and l_quantity >= 7 and l_quantity <= 7 + 10 and p_size between 1 and 5 and l_shipmode in ('AIR', 'AIR REG') and l_shipinstruct = 'DELIVER IN PERSON' ) or ( p_brand = 'Brand#35' and p_container in ('MED BAG', 'MED BOX', 'MED PKG', 'MED PACK') and l_quantity >= 15 and l_quantity <= 15 + 10 and p_size between 1 and 10 and l_shipmode in ('AIR', 'AIR REG') and l_shipinstruct = 'DELIVER IN PERSON' ) or ( p_brand = 'Brand#24' and p_container in ('LG CASE', 'LG BOX', 'LG PACK', 'LG PKG') and l_quantity >= 26 and l_quantity <= 26 + 10 and p_size between 1 and 15 and l_shipmode in ('AIR', 'AIR REG') and l_shipinstruct = 'DELIVER IN PERSON' ))
