Ben Maurer commented on PIG-793:
--------------------------------

What about generating a custom class for each type of tuple (eg using bcel). 
The tuple could be efficiently accessed by a custom-compiled operator for each 
field.

> Improving memory efficiency of Tuple implementation

> Currently, our tuple is a real pig and uses a lot of extra memory. 
> There are several places where we can improve memory efficiency:
> (1) Laying out memory for the fields rather than using java objects since 
> since each object for a numeric field takes 16 bytes
> (2) For the cases where we know the schema using Java arrays rather than 
> ArrayList.
> There might be more.
