Richard Ding commented on PIG-1218:
-----------------------------------

There is no hard limit on file size for DistributedCache. The files in the 
DistributedCache are copied to all nodes before the job starts. So the large 
files will impact the performance due to the transmission of files to all nodes.

> Use distributed cache to store samples

> Currently, in the case of skew join and order by we use sample that is just 
> written to the dfs (not distributed cache) and, as the result, get opened and 
> copied around more than necessary. This impacts query performance and also 
> places unnecesary load on the name node
