AvroStorage with wildcard causes extreme slow initialization
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-1879
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1879
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tools
    Affects Versions: 0.7.0
            Reporter: Felix Gao


I am using piggybank with avro_storage.patch from PIG-1748.  When I load the 
data using Load '/user/test/logs/avro/*/*' USING 
org.apache.pig.piggybank.storage.avro.AvroStorage(); The sys log on the mapper 
shows
2011-03-02 12:52:35,556 INFO org.apache.hadoop.metrics.jvm.JvmMetrics: 
Initializing JVM Metrics with processName=MAP, sessionId=
2011-03-02 12:52:37,333 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask: io.sort.mb = 100

However, when I use load 
'/user/test/logs/avro/{2011-03-01/*/*-23-00*,2011-03-01/*/*2011-03-01-00-00*,2011-03-01/*/*2011-03-01-01-00*,2011-03-01/*/*2011-03-01-02-00*,2011-03-01/*/*2011-03-01-03-00*,2011-03-01/*/*2011-03-01-04-00*,2011-02-28/*/*2011-02-28-05-00*,2011-02-28/*/*2011-02-28-06-00*,2011-02-28/*/*2011-02-28-07-00*,2011-02-28/*/*2011-02-28-08-00*,2011-02-28/*/*2011-02-28-09-00*,2011-02-28/*/*2011-02-28-1*-00*,2011-02-28/*/*2011-02-28-20-00*,2011-02-28/*/*2011-02-28-21-00*,2011-02-28/*/*2011-02-28-22-00*}'
 The sys log on the mapper shows
2011-03-02 12:03:33,091 INFO org.apache.hadoop.metrics.jvm.JvmMetrics: 
Initializing JVM Metrics with processName=MAP, sessionId=
2011-03-02 12:06:05,254 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask: io.sort.mb = 100

Notice it took 2 minute and 30 seconds on the initialization stage.  If  I cut 
the number of file patterns in the glob to half. The mappers will be twice as 
fast.
