    Resolution: Won't Fix

Development on this patch appears to have ceased, and we've had no other requests for this feature.

>                 Key: PIG-102
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-102
>             Project: Pig
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: impl
>         Environment: Installations with shared folders on all nodes (eg NFS)

> I've been playing with Pig using three setups:
> (a) local
> (b) hadoop mapred with hdfs
> (c) hadoop mapred with file:///path/to/shared/fs as the default file system
> In our local setup, various NFS filesystems are shared between all machines (including mapred nodes)  eg /users, /local
> I would like Pig to note when input files are in a file:// directory that has been marked as shared, and hence not copy it to DFS.
> Similarly, the Torque PBS resource manager has a usecp directive, which notes when a filesystem location is shared between all nodes, (and hence scp is not needed, cp alone can be used). See http://www.clusterresources.com/wiki/doku.php?id=torque:6.2_nfs_and_other_networked_filesystems
> It would be good to have a configurable setting in Pig that says when a filesystem is shared, and hence no copying between file:// and hdfs:// is needed.
> An example in our setup might be:
> sharedFS file:///local/
> sharedFS file:///users/
> if commands should be used.
> This command should be used with care. Obviously if you have 1000 nodes all accessing a shared file in NFS, then it would have been better to "hadoopify" the file.
> The likely area of code to patch is src/org/apache/pig/impl/io/FileLocalizer.java hadoopify(String, PigContext)
