Daniel Dai updated PIG-2293:
----------------------------
Attachment: PIG-2293-3.patch
PIG-2293-3.patch fix unit tests.
> Pig should support a more efficient merge join against data sources that
> natively support point lookups or where the join is against large, sparse
> tables.

> The existing PIG merge join has the following limitations:
> 1. It assumes the right side of the table must be accessed sequentially -
> record by record.
> 2. It does not perform well against large, sparse tables.
> The current implementation of the merge join introduced the interface
> IndexableLoadFunc. This 'LoadFunc'
> supports the ability to 'seekNear' a given key (before reading the next
> record).
> The merge join physical operator only calls 'seekNear' for the first key in
> each split (effectively eliminating splits
> where the first and subsequent keys will not be found). Subsequent joins are
> found by reading sequentially through
> the records on the right table looking for matches from the left table.
> While this method works well for dense join tables - it performs poorly
> against large sparse tables or data sources that support
> point lookups natively (HBase for example).
> The proposed enhancement is to add a new join type - 'merge-sparse' to PIG
> latin. When specified in the PIG script, this join type
> will cause the merge join operator to call seekNear on each and every key
> (rather than just the first in each split).
