Rohini Palaniswamy commented on PIG-2553:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for bringing up hbase Dmitriy. HCat table is another case.
Would that property be true by default? I am fine making the property true by
default as long as it checks only for filesystem locations. HCat and HBase
tables are going to be more common going forward, and it would not be nice to
ask the users to launch pig every time with that property set to false.
> Pig shouldn't allow attempts to write multiple relations into same directory

> We've seen multiple occasions where users accidentally try to store 2 or more
> different relations to the same destination directory. Currently, this passes
> the Pig planner and fails on MR side due to concurrent attempts to create the
> same part file on the reducer. This is extremely confusing to the user, and
> hard to debug.
> We should instead fail their scripts before they are even submitted, since we
> can identify the erroneous condition from the beginning.
