Gabriel Reid commented on CRUNCH-128:
-------------------------------------

On adding the two new PCollection methods: I'm ok with it if you guys are ok with it (I trust your combined judgement on such matters much more than my own).

And yep, definitely +1 on moving sample and sort out of PCollection.

> There are a couple of problems (e.g., mapside-joins, total orderings, etc.) where we need to guarantee that one PCollection has been written to the FileSystem before another MapReduce pipeline that depends on that file is allowed to run. This doesn't fit cleanly into the current set of abstractions for Crunch, which is why we force pipelines to execute via the run command to guarantee that the files have been created before the second stage is run.
> We should add the ability for a particular PCollection to require that a SourceTarget instance has been created before it can be executed, and the planner should incorporate this information into the MR pipeline planning process.
