Summary: Better multi-query planning in case of union and multiple edges Key: PIG-4495 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4495 Project: Pig Issue Type: Sub-task Affects Versions: 0.14.0 Reporter: Rohini Palaniswamy Details in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-1190?focusedCommentId=14393033&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14393033 People split the data, perform some foreach transformations/filter, union them and then do some operation like group by or join with other data. In those cases it creates multiple edges from same Split, so we do not merge them, but write out the data to another dummy vertex to avoid multiple edges and this adds overhead and affects performance. Vertex groups accept multiple edges from same vertex. So if the multiple edges end up in a vertex group (and not a vertex which is the case in self join) we can avoid the dummy vertex. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
