> A table created by HCAT has the following partitions; 
> hcat -e "show partitions paritionedtable"
> {quote}
> grid=AB/dt=2011_07_01
> grid=AB/dt=2011_07_02
> grid=AB/dt=2011_07_03
> grid=XY/dt=2011_07_01
> grid=XY/dt=2011_07_02
> grid=XY/dt=2011_07_03
> grid=XY/dt=2011_07_04
> ...
> {quote}
> The total number of partitions in the table is around 3200.
> A Pig script of this nature tries to access this data using the partitions in it's filter. 
> {script}
> A = LOAD 'paritionedtable' USING org.apache.hcatalog.pig.HCatLoader();
> B = FILTER A BY grid=='AB' AND dt=='2011_07_04';
> C = LIMIT B 10;
> store C into 'HCAT' using PigStorage();
> {script}
> This script, fails to run as the job.xml generated by Pig is so large (8MB), that the Hadoop Fred's limitation does not allow it to submit the job. 
> After debugging it was found that in the HCatTableInfo class the function gets a null filter value. getInputTableInfo(filter=null ..)
> I suspect that "setPartitionFilter" function in Pig does not pass the filter correctly to the HCatLoader. This is happening with both Pig 0.9 and 0.8
