Pradeep Kamath updated PIG-953:
-------------------------------
Attachment: PIG-953-5.patch
Zebra needs a global commit method to be able to build an index on the sorted
zebra file. Attaching a new patch which introduces a CommittableStoreFunc
interfce with a commit() method which extends StoreFunc. Zebra store function
will extend this interface and pig will call the commit() method on the
CommittableStoreFunc at the completion of the job. While this is not ideal and
we could add commit() into StoreFunc itself, it would break existing store
functions. Also very soon, if changes in
http://wiki.apache.org/pig/LoadStoreRedesignProposal are implemented, this
would change anyway - so this new interface is being introduced so that till we
move to the new interface changes recommended in the wiki we don't break
existing store functions.
> Enable merge join in pig to work with loaders and store functions which can
> internally index sorted data

> Currently merge join implementation in pig includes construction of an index
> on sorted data and use of that index to seek into the "right input" to
> efficiently perform the join operation. Some loaders (notably the zebra
> loader) internally implement an index on sorted data and can perform this
> seek efficiently using their index. So the use of the index needs to be
> abstracted in such a way that when the loader supports indexing, pig uses it
> (indirectly through the loader) and does not construct an index.
