[jira] [Commented] (PIG-2831) MR-Cube implementation (Distributed cubing for holistic measures)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2831?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13427036#comment-13427036 ] 

Prasanth J commented on PIG-2831:
---------------------------------

Ya. I could do that. Looks like this will need a separate map job for reading few tuples? I think this will require tweaking the loader to emit a special tuple with the estimated number of records. 

I will try that once the end to end base implementation is up. For now the way I am counting the sample size is by using RandomSampleLoader. I am sampling 1000 tuples per mapper and using that samples for naive computation and determining the partition size. But RandomSampleLoader always returns more samples than expected. Not sure if its a bug!!. Once the complete implementation is done we can look into more accurate estimate of number of tuples etc. Will soon submit an intermediate patch for review. 

Also given the in-memory size of a tuple, how can we estimate the number of tuples that a reducer can handle without spilling to disk?

> Implementing distributed cube materialization on holistic measure based on MR-Cube approach as described in http://arnab.org/files/mrcube.pdf. 
> Primary steps involved:
> 1) Identify if the measure is holistic or not
> 2) Determine algebraic attribute (can be detected automatically for few cases, if automatic detection fails user should hint the algebraic attribute)
> 3) Modify MRPlan to insert a sampling job which executes naive cube algorithm and generates annotated cube lattice (contains large group partitioning information)
> 4) Modify plan to distribute annotated cube lattice to all mappers using distributed cache
> 5) Execute actual cube materialization on full dataset
> 6) Modify MRPlan to insert a post process job for combining the results of actual cube materialization job
> 7) OOM exception handling
