Trino is an open-source distributed SQL query engine designed for running interactive analytics on large datasets. It supports querying data from multiple data sources, including Hadoop, relational databases, and object storage systems. Trino is known for its speed and ability to handle complex queries across diverse data sources.
When working with Trino, you might encounter an error message stating UNSUPPORTED_JOIN_TYPE. This error typically occurs when executing a query that involves a join operation not supported by Trino.
The UNSUPPORTED_JOIN_TYPE error arises when a query attempts to use a join type that Trino does not recognize or support. Trino supports several types of joins, such as INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, and FULL OUTER JOIN. However, it may not support certain specialized or non-standard join types that are available in other SQL engines.
To resolve the UNSUPPORTED_JOIN_TYPE error, follow these steps:
Review the SQL query to identify the join type causing the issue. Look for keywords in the query that specify the join operation.
Replace the unsupported join type with a supported one. For example, if you are using a semi join, consider rewriting the query using an INNER JOIN with a WHERE clause to filter the results.
-- Example of rewriting a semi join
SELECT a.*
FROM table_a a
INNER JOIN table_b b ON a.id = b.id
WHERE b.condition = true;
Execute the modified query to ensure it runs without errors. Verify that the results are as expected and that the join logic is correctly implemented.
For more information on supported join types in Trino, refer to the official Trino documentation on joins. You can also explore the Trino SQL Reference for further details on query syntax and capabilities.
