Rohini Palaniswamy commented on PIG-4420:
-----------------------------------------
Yes. But for the case of 3K records the group all hardly has any overhead.
Might become a overhead if the datasize is bigger.
> Support for map side cross similar to replicate join

> Our CROSS implementation is very costly. Recently had a case where a user
> was doing a CROSS of 30million records against 3K records and it caused lot
> of disk error exceptions during the shuffle phase. We need to add support for
> a map side cross syntax
> C = CROSS A, B using 'replicate';
> The smaller table can be loaded in a list (hashmap in replicate join) and
> iterated through for each record in the bigger table. It should give a major
> performance boost and drastically reduce the resource usage.
