    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1509?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12895106#action_12895106 ] 

Namit Jain commented on HIVE-1509:
----------------------------------

With dynamic partitions, the number of intermediate files can grow very fast.

For example, consider a query with 10,000 mappers and 100 files per mapper - it can create up to 1 million files before merging them at the end.
The cluster may be down by the time the query finishes.

It is a good idea to track the number of files through a counter, and kill the query if the number exceeds a given threshold
