+  		<description>Whether Hive enable the optimization about converting common join into mapjoin based on the input file
+    		size. If this paramater is on, and the sum of size for n-1 of the tables/partitions for a n-way join is smaller than the
+    		specified size, the join is directly converted to a mapjoin (there is no conditional task).
