Yan Zhou commented on PIG-1518:
-------------------------------
In summary, the split combination's controllables are through the following jvm
properties:
pig.maxCombinedSplitSize: by default, it is the load filesystem's default block
size. This specifies the maximum combined split size in unit of bytes;
pig.splitCombination: takes values of "false" and "true". The default is
"true". "false" will disable the split combination.
> multi file input format for loaders

> Key: PIG-1518
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1518
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Olga Natkovich
> Assignee: Yan Zhou
> Fix For: 0.8.0
>
> Attachments: PIG-1518.patch

>
> We frequently run in the situation where Pig needs to deal with small files
> in the input. In this case a separate map is created for each file which
> could be very inefficient.
> It would be greate to have an umbrella input format that can take multiple
> files and use them in a single split. We would like to see this working with
> different data formats if possible.
> There are already a couple of input formats doing similar thing:
> MultifileInputFormat as well as CombinedInputFormat; howevere, neither works
> with ne Hadoop 20 API.
> We at least want to do a feasibility study for Pig 0.8.0.
