how to force hive to use index for predicates

[Mahsa Mofidpoor <mo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a table pokes(foo int, bar string) on which I created a compact
index (on foo). I set hive.optimze.autoindex=true and then run the query
select * from pokes where name = 'somename'. However, when I enable
logging, I do not see the phase in which the optimizer makes use of the
index. I am suspecting that it did not use the index to execute the query.
If so, how should I force it to use the index?

Thank you in advance for your reply,
Mahsa
