----------------------------
yes. that's use case. Thanks.
> Support more predicate pushdown to a data source by pulling up multiple
> predicates from branches using the same data source

> Key: PIG-2747
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2747
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Yu Xu
> Priority: Minor
>
> consider the following example:
> T = load ... ;
> T1 = filter T by col == 'hello';
> T2 = filter T by col =='world';
> currently Pig optimizer does not combine the two predicates and cannot push
> down the predicates to the data sources (via LoadMetadata). Thus the data
> source cannot do any filtering. A full table/file scan is required.
> A current more efficient workaround (by hand) is to rewrite the above script
> to the following equivalent one:
> T = load ...;
> T = filter T by col == 'hello' or col == 'world' ;
> T1 = filter T by col == 'hello';
> T2 = filter T by col == 'world';
> the above script enables Pig to push down the predicate (col == 'hello' or
> col == 'world') to the data source to use available partitions/indexes for
> potentially much more efficient processing.
> This JIRA is created to request PIG optimizer to perform the above type of
> optimization automatically.
