Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-856:
------------------------------------
If a job fails, the store connected to this job will fail as well. Pig has no
retries beyond what hadoop provides. That's why no replication seems a little
risky but I want to see what the perf difference is and whether it is worth the
risk.
> PERFORMANCE: reduce number of replicas

> Key: PIG-856
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-856
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.3.0
> Reporter: Olga Natkovich
>
> Currently Pig uses the default number of replicas between MR jobs. Currently,
> the number is 3. Given the temp nature of the data, we should never need more
> than 2 and should explicitely set it to improve performance and to be nicer
> to the name node.
