Alan Gates updated PIG-460:
---------------------------

    Attachment: sampler.patch

Attaching patch for Amir who is currently out.  Not marking as patch available as I believe Amir wanted to do some performance testing before declaring it ready.

> Currently order by is done in three MR jobs:
> job 1: read data in whatever loader the user requests, store using BinStorage
> job 2: load using RandomSampleLoader, find quantiles
> job 3: load data again and sort
> It is done this way because RandomSampleLoader extends BinStorage, and so needs the data in that format to read it.
> If the logic in RandomSampleLoader was made into an operator instead of being in a loader then jobs 1 and 2 could be merged.  On average job 1 takes about 15% of the time of an order by script.
