Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-1494:
-------------------------------------
Swati, I am assigning it to you since I am assuming you plan to work on it for
0.8. Otherwise, it is unlikely to happen in 0.8 timeframe. Feel free to
unassign and unlink from this release if this is not the case
> PIG Logical Optimization: Use CNF in PushUpFilter
> -------------------------------------------------

> Key: PIG-1494
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1494
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: impl
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Reporter: Swati Jain
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.8.0

> The PushUpFilter rule is not able to handle complicated boolean expressions.
> For example, SplitFilter rule is splitting one LOFilter into two by "AND".
> However it will not be able to split LOFilter if the top level operator is
> "OR". For example:
> *ex script:*
> A = load 'file_a' USING PigStorage(',') as (a1:int,a2:int,a3:int);
> B = load 'file_b' USING PigStorage(',') as (b1:int,b2:int,b3:int);
> C = load 'file_c' USING PigStorage(',') as (c1:int,c2:int,c3:int);
> J1 = JOIN B by b1, C by c1;
> J2 = JOIN J1 by $0, A by a1;
> D = *Filter J2 by ( (c1 < 10) AND (a3+b3 > 10) ) OR (c2 == 5);*
> explain D;
> In the above example, the PushUpFilter is not able to push any filter
> condition across any join as it contains columns from all branches (inputs).
> But if we convert this expression into "Conjunctive Normal Form" (CNF) then
> we would be able to push filter condition c1< 10 and c2 == 5 below both join
> conditions. Here is the CNF expression for highlighted line:
> ( (c1 < 10) OR (c2 == 5) ) AND ( (a3+b3 > 10) OR (c2 ==5) )
> *Suggestion:* It would be a good idea to convert LOFilter's boolean
> expression into CNF, it would then be easy to push parts (conjuncts) of the
> LOFilter boolean expression selectively. We would also not require rule
> SplitFilter anymore if we were to add this utility to rule PushUpFilter
> itself.
