Large number of FILTER matching clauses causes internal error 2998
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-1475
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1475
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: grunt
    Affects Versions: 0.6.0
         Environment: Amazon Elastic MapReduce with Pig 0.6 and Hadoop 0.20.2
            Reporter: Mike Subelsky
            Priority: Minor


I'm generating reports using Pig where I only want to report on rows matching a 
set of regular expressions, but those regular expressions are pretty numerous.

Pig fails with this internal error when I run FILTER with 500 terms:

2010-06-29 15:46:04,579 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 
2998: Unhandled internal error. null

This only occurred when I ran my Pig script against Hadoop with the full 
dataset. When I ran Pig in local mode, with a smaller sample file, Pig handled 
the FILTER command just fine.

The workaround has been to split my list into two separate lists of 250 then 
UNION the results, but I assume this is something that could be addressed in 
the code.
