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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
