Pradeep Kamath updated PIG-581: ------------------------------- Summary: Pig should enable an option to disable the use of combiner optimizer (was: Pig should enable an option to disable the use of optimizer) > Pig should enable an option to disable the use of combiner optimizer > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-581 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-581 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: types_branch > Reporter: Pradeep Kamath > Fix For: types_branch > > > There are some cases where a combiner optimization chosen by Pig may actually > be slower than the non optimized version. For example, the use of combiner to > address the issue reported in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-580 > could result in slower execution IF the distinct on groups of values does not > actually shrink those groups. This is however very data dependent and the > user may know before hand that this might be the case and may wish to disable > the use of the optimizer. Pig should enable an option to do so. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
