Amir Youssefi commented on PIG-750:
-----------------------------------

Other use-cases we need have in unit tests:

1) foreach X generate SUM(a) * AVG(b), ...

2) foreach X generate 1 / SUM(a) 

Currently, there is a work-around suggested to have all algebraic functions 
calculated in a foreach and then more expressions/mixes are calculated in a 
second foreach. This way combiner is used in the first foreach and we get 
combiner speed-up.

> Use combiner when a mix of algebraic and non-algebraic functions are used

> Currently Pig uses combiner when all a,b, c,... are algebraic (e.g. SUM, AVG 
> etc.) in foreach:
> foreach X generate a,b,c,... 
>  It's a performance improvement if it uses combiner when a mix of algebraic 
> and non-algebraic functions are used as well.
