Pradeep Kamath updated PIG-1323: -------------------------------- Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available) Resolution: Invalid There is already a hadoop property "mapred.task.id" which is set to the map/reduce task id in the backend and is not set in the front end which can be used to figure this out. Hence it is best not to introduce new properties in the configuration for this purpose. > Communicate whether the call to LoadFunc.setLocation is being made in > hadoop's front end or backend > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1323 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1323 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.7.0 > Reporter: Pradeep Kamath > Assignee: Pradeep Kamath > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: PIG-1323.patch > > > Loaders which interact with external systems like a metadata server may need > to know if the LoadFunc.setLocation call happens from the frontend (on the > client machine) or in the backend (on each map task). The Configuration in > the Job argument to setLocation() can contain this information. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
