Hive Map join : out of memory Exception

Question

I am trying to perform map side with one big Table (10G) and small Table (230 MB). With the small i will use all the columns to produce output records, after joining on key columns

I have used below setting

set hive.auto.convert.join=true;

set hive.mapjoin.smalltable.filesize=262144000;

Logs :

Answer 1

I faced this problem and was only able to get over it by using set hive.auto.convert.join=false

Answer 2

set hive.auto.convert.join = false; it will not give u memory exception.
