Ashutosh Chauhan commented on PIG-953: -------------------------------------- And couple more: 8. bq. Findbugs complains about passing internal members as is in getters since the caller can then modifiy these internal members - hence the copy. {code} public List<Boolean> getAscColumns() { return Utils.getCopy(ascColumns); } {code} Instead if we use following, we will achieve the same thing and then neither findbugs will complain, nor their is need for our own copy method. {code} public List<Boolean> getAscColumns() { return new ArrayList<Boolean>(ascColumns); } {code} 9. In POMergeJoin.java {code} // we should never get here! return new Result(POStatus.STATUS_ERR, null); {code} could be changed to {code} // we should never get here! throw new ExecException(errMsg,2176); {code} because if we ever get there, it will result in NPE later on otherwise. > Enable merge join in pig to work with loaders and store functions which can > internally index sorted data > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-953 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-953 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.3.0 > Reporter: Pradeep Kamath > Assignee: Pradeep Kamath > Attachments: PIG-953.patch > > > Currently merge join implementation in pig includes construction of an index > on sorted data and use of that index to seek into the "right input" to > efficiently perform the join operation. Some loaders (notably the zebra > loader) internally implement an index on sorted data and can perform this > seek efficiently using their index. So the use of the index needs to be > abstracted in such a way that when the loader supports indexing, pig uses it > (indirectly through the loader) and does not construct an index. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
