I have solved the problem. This was a mystery because the same data loaded into the same schema gave conflicting counts depending on the load technique. While the data itself had no duplicate keys the behavior suggested something was up with the keys (MR input / output had the correct record count for both load techniques for instance). I confirmed this by creating a pig udf that created a uuid for each row as the pk. The result of running this test was each row appeared as expected and I got the correct count. But I couldn’t figure out why the data itself would behave differently because it was also unique. My pig script could hardly be simpler with no transformations, it is a simple load and store. This ended up being the issue!
Solution: Assign the correct pig data type to the PK values rather than letting pig figure it out. I am not sure what the exact underlying issue is, but this fixed it (perhaps when pig coerced the values to a datatype it thought best it munged it somehow).

I have 42M csv records to load and I am comparing the performance. In both cases the MR jobs are successful, and there are no errors. In both cases the MR job counters state there are 42M Map input and output records However, when I run count on the table when the jobs are complete something is terribly off. After the bulk load, select count shows all 42M recs in Phoenix as is expected. After the pig load there are only 3M recs in Phoenix – not even close. I have no errors to send. I have run the same test multiple times and gotten the same results. The pig script is not doing any transformations. It is a simple LOAD and STORE I get the same result using client jars from 4.2.2 and 4.2.3-SNAPSHOT. 4.2.3-SNAPSHOT is running on the region servers. Thanks, Ralph
