----------------------------------------
I wouldn't put too much weight on timing local mode. You are likely spending
most of the time in JobControl's sleep(5000). We'll see about posting our patch
for that.
> CUBE operation in Pig

> Key: PIG-2167
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2167
> Project: Pig

> Computing aggregates over a cube of several dimensions is a common operation
> in data warehousing.
> The standard SQL syntax is "GROUP relation BY dim1, dim2, dim3 WITH CUBE" --
> which in addition to all dim1-2-3, produces aggregations for just dim1, just
> dim1 and dim2, etc. NULL is generally used to represent "all".
> A presentation by Arnab Nandi describes how one might implement efficient
> cubing in Map-Reduce here: http://pdf.cx/44wrk
> We can start with the naive solution which only works for algebraic measures,
> and work up from there.
> This is a candidate project for Google summer of code 2012. More information
> about the program can be found at
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PIG/GSoc2012
