Srikanth Sundarrajan commented on PIG-4680:
-------------------------------------------
This can be quite handy, particularly when pig scripts is launched via oozie
and if the launcher were to fail and attempt is retried.
> Enable pig job graphs to resume from last successful state

>
> Pig scripts can have multiple ETL jobs in the DAG which may take hours to
> finish. In case of transient errors, the job fails. When the job is rerun,
> all the nodes in Job graph will rerun. Some of these nodes may have already
> run successfully. Redundant runs lead to wastage of cluster capacity and
> pipeline delays.
> In case of failure, we can persist the graph state. In next run, only the
> failed nodes and their successors will rerun. This is of course subject to
> preconditions such as
> - Pig script has not changed
> - Input locations have not changed
> - Output data from previous run is intact
> - Configuration has not changed
