[jira] Updated: (PIG-1038) Optimize nested distinct/sort to use secondary key

["Daniel Dai (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1038?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Daniel Dai updated PIG-1038:
----------------------------

          Component/s: impl
          Description: 
If nested foreach plan contains sort/distinct, it is possible to use hadoop secondary sort instead of SortedDataBag and DistinctDataBag to optimize the query. 

Eg1:
A = load 'mydata';
B = group A by $0;
C = foreach B {
    D = order A by $1;
    generate group, D;
}
store C into 'myresult';

We can specify a secondary sort on A.$1, and drop "order A by $1".

Eg2:
A = load 'mydata';
B = group A by $0;
C = foreach B {
    D = A.$1;
    E = distinct D;
    generate group, E;
}
store C into 'myresult';

We can specify a secondary sort key on A.$1, and simplify "D=A.$1; E=distinct D" to a special version of distinct, which does not do the sorting.

  was:Since the data coming to the reducer is sorted on group+distinct, we don't need to see all distinct values at once

    Affects Version/s: 0.4.0
        Fix Version/s: 0.6.0
              Summary: Optimize nested distinct/sort to use secondary key  (was: stream nested distinct for in case of accumulate interface)
