Gaurav Jain commented on PIG-1411: ---------------------------------- We ran few performance tests and found that: -- Zebra Table with 700 file and 70G of data in them -- Ceated a HAR file for the above table with 36 files of ~2GB Observed: 10-15 seconds overhead in creating split per HAR file 50% increase in SLOT_MILLI_MAPS b/w HAR and Non-HAR reading of Zebra Table. HAR taking more time Similar results were observed for union of above tables ( 5 tables union ) Further performance tests are subject to fix for MAPREDUCE-1712 > [Zebra] Can Zebra use HAR to reduce file/block count for namenode > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1411 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1411 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: impl > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Gaurav Jain > Assignee: Gaurav Jain > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.8.0 > > > Due to column group structure, Zebra can create extra files for namenode to > remember. That means namenode taking more memory for Zebra related files. > The goal is to reduce the no of files/blocks > The idea among various options is to use HAR ( Hadoop Archive ). Hadoop > Archive reduces the block and file count by copying data from small files ( > 1M, 2M ...) into a hdfs-block of larger size. Thus, reducing the total no. of > blocks and files. > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
