Aniket Mokashi commented on PIG-2672:
-------------------------------------

Hadoop uses following code to get stagingDir
{format}
Path stagingRootDir =
      new Path(conf.get("mapreduce.jobtracker.staging.root.dir",
            "/tmp/hadoop/mapred/staging"));
{format}
which indicates that /user/$user.name may not be available (configured). I can 
use staging dir as stagingRootDir + user + "/.pig". Would that work?

> Pig currently copies jar files to a temporary location in hdfs and then adds 
> them to DistributedCache for each job launched. This is inefficient in terms 
> of 
>    * Space - The jars are distributed to task trackers for every job taking 
> up lot of local temporary space in tasktrackers.
>    * Performance - The jar distribution impacts the job launch time.
