Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-2359: ---------------------------------------- fwiw - I ripped all of the isNull stuff out of the tuple interface and implementations and things compile (so I guess it's never, ever called?). Extricating this change from my primitive tuples branch is a bit painful.. you guys cool with that change? > Support more efficient Tuples when schemas are known > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-2359 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2359 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Dmitriy V. Ryaboy > Assignee: Dmitriy V. Ryaboy > Attachments: PIG-2359.1.patch > > > Pig Tuples have significant overhead due to the fact that all the fields are > Objects. > When a Tuple only contains primitive fields (ints, longs, etc), it's possible > to avoid this overhead, which would result in significant memory savings. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
