Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-2359: ---------------------------------------- Found a place where this breaks. InternalCachedBag (and presumably other cached bags) use <code>t.write(out)<code> to spill to disk, and <code>t = factory.newTuple(); t.readFields(in)<code> to read. This is a problem as it assumes t will write itself in a format the default tuple returned by factory.newTuple() will read. Seems like a straightforward fix would be to use InterSedes to read, right? Any reason that wouldn't work? > Support more efficient Tuples when schemas are known > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-2359 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2359 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Dmitriy V.
