> For anything more then a moderately sized dataset Pig usually spits following
> messages:

> This seems to confuse users a lot. Once these messages are printed, users
> tend to believe that Pig is having hard time with memory, is spilling to disk
> etc. but in fact Pig might be cruising along at ease. We should be little
> more careful what to print in logs. Currently these are printed when a
> notification is sent by JVM and some other conditions are met which may not
> necessarily indicate low memory condition. Furthermore, with
> {{InternalCachedBag}} embraced everywhere in favor of {{DefaultBag}}, these
> messages have lost their usefulness. At the every least, we should lower the
> log level at which these are printed.
