Sriranjan Manjunath updated PIG-872:
------------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
> use distributed cache for the replicated data set in FR join
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-872
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-872
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Olga Natkovich
> Assignee: Sriranjan Manjunath
>
> Currently, the replicated file is read directly from DFS by all maps. If the
> number of the concurrent maps is huge, we can overwhelm the NameNode with
> open calls.
> Using distributed cache will address the issue and might also give a
> performance boost since the file will be copied locally once and the reused
> by all tasks running on the same machine.
> The basic approach would be to use cacheArchive to place the file into the
> cache on the frontend and on the backend, the tasks would need to refer to
> the data using path from the cache.
> Note that cacheArchive does not work in Hadoop local mode. (Not a problem for
> us right now as we don't use it.)
