Hive, time taken for partitioned vs unpartitioned database












0















So, I have 2 tables for a dataset which are unpartitioned table and partitioned table.



When I see the report for partitioned data, the cumulative CPU time decreased dramatically but the total time taken are the same compared to unpartitioned data.



Why is this ?

As this is a strictly theoretical question you will get a strictly theoretical answer. Partitioning causes a table to be split into smaller tables with same structure. This makes your SELECT queries to execute on different tables (effectively SELECT * FROM table_part1 UNION ALL table_part2 vs SELECT * FROM table).



The overall time will be same because you are reading same amounts of data. You can put table_part1 and table_part2 on different physical disks, which probably will make reading faster as you will have less IO wait. But in general, for tables partitioned within same tablespace you will see comparable time for both queries (partitioned and unpartitioned).



As for CPU, we can speculate that there is some optimization in place that makes operating smaller tables easier. It is possible that the partitioned tables simply fit better into memory (including CPU caches). In this case it is possible that results will depend on the size of the initial and partitioned tables - for super-large tables on both sides you may end up with same CPU load either way.
