[jira] [Commented] (PIG-3204) Change script parsing to parse entire script instead of line by line

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3204?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14078971#comment-14078971 ] 

Shiwei Guo commented on PIG-3204:
---------------------------------

Is the executeBatch() call in 'processDescribe' introduced by this patch necessary?
Can it be replaced by:
{code}
  if (mPigServer.isBatchOn()) {
            mPigServer.parseAndBuild();
        }
{code}

?

We have a usage case, which may be quite normal, like this:
{code}
describe aliaseA;
store aliaseA;

describe aliaseB;
store aliaseB;

describe aliaseC;
store aliaseC;
...
{code}

The 'executeBatch' call in describe make pig have no chance to execute the store operations in parallel and do more optimize.

>   Currently there are a lot of NN calls made to determine if there is a schema file for a path in a LOAD statement. When there is a slow NN(caused by whole bunch of other issues), it takes a lot of time for this and we found the scripts spending anywhere from 5 mins to 40 mins depending upon the script. It seems to be a good place for optimization.
