If we change the partition it will reduce the performance of job because it will verify all partition techniques. so we prefer hash partition for join stage.

Hi Aloka,
Join stage we used to Hash key partition by default. If you changed it auto then you may get job performance issue.
Thanks !

But when Hash partition used..It will also verify for all the partition.
It will be more helpful if you will elaborate more on this.

We usually go for join stage when the source input data is huge!!! If we select Hash partitioning only then it will improve the performance of job because Hash partitioning ensures that the data with similar key column values stay on the same partition, and therefore theyre processed by same node..this reduces memory requirements because then lesser no. of records need to stay in memory at any one time!!! optimizing performance of our job...
