Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-2453: ---------------------------------------- One proposed solution is to only check for .pig_schema files on a per-directory level instead of per-file. We can also probably do fewer NN calls by caching all found schema files and not checking metaFilePath.exists() redundantly. > Fetching schema can be very slow for multi-thousand LOADs > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-2453 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2453 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Dmitriy V. Ryaboy > Assignee: Dmitriy V. Ryaboy > > When a user tries to load resources with thousands of files using PigStorage, > we spend an inordinate amount of time looking for schema files.
