Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-2829:
----------------------------------------
Jie, sorry I missed this ticket before. As you may have seen, I completely
reimplemented this whole chunk of code in PIG-2888. Can you rerun your
benchmarks and see if some of the improvements you propose here should be
applied to the code developed in that ticket?
> Use partial aggregation more aggresively

> Partial aggregation (Hash Aggregation, aka in-map combiner) is a new feature
> in Pig 0.10 that will perform aggregation within map function. The main
> advantage against combiner is it avoids de/serializing and sorting the data,
> and it can auto disable itself if the data reduction rate is low. Currently
> it's disabled by default.
> To leverage the power of PartialAgg more aggressively, several things need to
> be revisited:
> 1. The threshold of auto-disabling. Currently each mapper looks at first 1k
> (hard-coded) records to see if there's enough data size reduction (defaults
> to 10x, configurable). The check would happen earlier if the hash table gets
> full before processing the 1k records (hash table size is controlled by
> pig.cachedbag.memusage). We might want to relax these thresholds.
> 2. Dependency on the combiner. Currently the PartialAgg won't work without a
> combiner following it, so we need to provide separate options to enable each
> independently.
