> Key: PIG-2340
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2340
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Reporter: Viraj Bhat
> Assignee: Daniel Dai
> Fix For: 0.9.1
>
>
> 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.
> {code}
> 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();
> {code}
> 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
