Alan Gates updated PIG-7:
-------------------------

    Patch Info: [Patch Available]

Attaching patch that implements use of combiner for algebraic functions in 
limited situations.  Algebraic is only applied when all functions to be 
evaluated in a given generate line are algebraic and when there is one and only 
one relation being grouped (ie it is not applied in cogroup situations).

Initial, very simple, performance tests show a speed up of ~40% (13m -> 7.5m 
for 4G on 10 machines) with the following script:
a = load '/user/pig/tests/data/perf/studenttab200M';
b = group a by $0;
c = foreach b generate group, COUNT($1), SUM($1.$2), AVG($1.$2), MIN($1.$1), 
MAX($1.$2);
store c into 'bla';

> Algebraic are functions that can be computed incrementally like count(X), 
> SUM(X), etc. They can be computed effciently by doing the first level 
> computation using hadoop combiner. This can give a significant (2-3x) speedup 
> for many aggregation queries. 
> Several users asked us for this feature so it is pretty high priority.
