Difference in the implementation of lookup and join
stages,in joining two tables?

Answer Posted / krishna

Generally we are using lookup for comparision purpose,
based on the reference table size we r using join or lookup.

If the reference table size is less than the main table
then use lookup stage other wise use join stage.
In lookup we have two types:
Normal lookup - reference lookup is less no of rows
compared to main table
sparse lookup - reference lookup is more no of rows
compared to main table.
But the peformance wise use join if the reference table has
more data.
