             Summary: OutOfMemory exception while spilling stale DefaultDataBag. Extra option to gc() before spilling large bag.
                 Key: PIG-3148
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3148
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: impl
            Reporter: Koji Noguchi
            Assignee: Koji Noguchi


Our user reported that one of their jobs in pig 0.10 occasionally failed with 

'Error: GC overhead limit exceeded' or 'Error: Java heap space', but rerunning it sometimes finishes successfully.

For 1G heap reducer, heap dump showed it contained two huge DefaultDataBag with 300-400MBytes each when failing with OOM.

Jstack at the time of OOM always showed that spill was running.
