Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-176:
------------------------------------
Pi,
Running faster is part of it. The other part is not to fill up disks with tiny
files which causes disk frgamentation and also takes forever to cleanup at the
end of processing though you suggestion of cleaning as we go might help that a
bit.
> pig creates many small files when it spills

> Key: PIG-176
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-176
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Olga Natkovich
> Assignee: Alan Gates
>
> Currently, on spill pig can generate millions of small (under 128K) files.
> Partially this is due to PIG-170 but even with that patch, you can still try
> and spill small bags.
> The proposal is to not spill small files. Alan told me that the logic is
> already there but we just need to bump the size limit.
