Hi,
I am trying to find the way to run the explain command over the entire
pig script in java. I was using PigServer but it offers only to do
explain over the single query (alias) not the entire script. Is there a
way to do something like:
$ pig -x local -e 'explain -script Temp1/TPC_test.pig -out explain-out9.txt'
but from my Java code?

Thanks.

Hacky way: grep for "^\S =", pull out the names, and then do the explains.

Why is doing the progressive explains useful? it wouldn't be too hard to
build this into pig but the results would be pretty unwieldy, it'd be
really big, and pretty redundant.

But pig already has this, it's jut that the java API seems not to have it.
The point would be to have the execution flow from the entire script.
Indeed, the output is not exactly the same if the explain is called over
the entire script than if it is called for each query (alias).

If from the shell we execute command
$ pig -x local -e 'explain -script Temp1/TPC_test.pig -out explain-out9.txt'
it will not give the same output as if we did it for each operation
separately.

I guess I'm confused at what you want then.

So we have a script:

a = ..
b = ...
c = ..

my impression was that you essentially wanted to print "explain a; explain
b; explain c;" is this not what you mean/

Well no. I want to do explain over the entire script as I show you in
the command I wrote.
That would produce the compact execution plan for the whole script and
not the several separate ones (one for each alias).

so what is the issue with just doing "explain final_alias;" ? Or do you
want it to do explain on the final alias of any given script?

I would like to do it from Java automatically and also for the scripts
with multiple stores.
