Hi All

How to resolve the issue.

lookuptable.20100417.stsv13d": No space left on device.

Can we do any tuning in the job.since we cannot increase the resource space for this job alone

This job is having single lookup holding 5 reference.

Thanks for your help

what are the reference link sources?
if they are tables, try sparse lookup.
Else try join

If you are running on multiple nodes, try hash partitioning your input stream and lookup data, doing that properly will minimize the space it requires.

There is probably a mechanism for loading only the rows you will need into the lookup table.

The technique is known as "bucket table": you generate a list of the keys from source, then join that result to the reference source as part of loading the lookup table.

In the old days, the bucket table was actually created in the database where the reference data originated, and the join done there. In parallel jobs, of course, you can use a Join stage to good effect.
