Mathieu Poumeyrol commented on PIG-201:
---------------------------------------

Ho ! The 8Kb buffer size is just plain guess. I honestly have no idea about the "right" value.

> BufferedPositionedInputStream is actualy not buffered, leading (I guess) to constant round trip to dfs as byte are read one by one. I just wrapped the provided input stream in the constructor in a good old BufferedInputStream.
> I measured a 40% performance boost on a script that reads and writes 3.7GB in dfs through PigStorage on one node. I guess the impact may be greater on a real hdfs cluster with actual network roundtrips.
> FYI, the issue was found while profiling with Yourkit java profiler. Usefull toy...
