Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-1156:
----------------------------------------
Attached patch adds a new field, alias, to ExecJob and to PhysicalOperator.
The PhysicalOperator alias is set to the alias of the LogicalOperator that was
compiled into this PO. In cases when multiple POs are needed to represent a
single LogicalOperator, all of them get the same alias. Note that this means
*there is a one-to-many correspondence* between the LogicalOperator aliases and
PhysicalOperator aliases.
POStore is assigned the alias of the relation being stored -- so, "store A into
...." will have the alias 'A'.
ExecJob also gets an alias, which is assigned to it based on the alias of its
POStore.
This allows us to call pigServer.executeBatch(), get a List of ExecJobs, and
identify the ExecJobs based on the name of the relation they stored -- allowing
us to get appropriate result iterators.
Note that adding aliases to PhysicalOperators will allow us to generate more
meaningful plans and error messages, as users will be able to correlate
elements of the physical plan with their PigLatin job. This means we are a step
closer to solving PIG-908

>
> Currently, the way to use muti-query from Java is as follows:
> 1. pigServer.setBatchOn();
> 2. register your queries with pigServer
> 3. List<ExecJob> jobs = pigServer.executeBatch();
> 4. for (ExecJob job : jobs) { Iterator<Tuple> results = job.getResults(); }
> This will cause all stores to get evaluated in a single batch. However, there
> is no way to identify which of the ExecJobs corresponds to which store. We
> should add aliases by which the stored relations are known to ExecJob in
> order to allow the user to identify what the jobs correspond do.
