[jira] [Assigned] (PIG-2573) Automagically setting parallelism

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2573
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Travis Crawford

> PIG-2334 was helpful in understanding this issue. Short version is input file size is only computed if the path begins with a whitelisted prefix, currently:
> * /
> * hdfs:
> * file:
> * s3n:
> As HCatalog locations use the form {{dbname.tablename}} the input file size is not computed, and the size-based parallelism optimization breaks.
> DETAILS:
> I discovered this issue comparing two runs on the same script, one loading regular HDFS paths, and one with HCatalog db.table names. I just happened to notice the "Setting number of reducers" line difference.
> {code:title=Loading HDFS files reducers is set to 99}

> {code}
> Possible fix: Pig should just ask the loader for the size of its inputs rather than special-casing certain location types.
