Hi Patrick, Did it work with 0.11? If not, I hit a similar issue and created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3266
Problem started from pig 0.10. Koji On Mar 29, 2013, at 12:17 PM, Patrick Salami wrote: Thanks for the tip. We are actually using Pig 0.10. I will upgrade to 0.11 and see if that resolves the issue.

Unreasonably long parse times were in issue in Pig 0.9 and 0.10, I believe those issues were fixed in Pig 0.11. Alan.

During this time, the pig command just hangs before any output is displayed (I am assuming this is the parsing phase). My question is, can this process be optimized by somehow serializing the intermediate parsed script to disk after the parsing phase is complete so that we don't have to go through the parsing process each time the script is run (so long as the script itself does not change)? That way, we could then load and run the parsed representation of the script rather than re-parsing it for each run. Since this is probably not a readily-available feature, could someone please point me to the right place in the code where this intermediate output can be intercepted? Thanks!
