Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-12:
-----------------------------------

Knowing when individual maps start and stop would require more work but what we can do easily as the short term measure is to annotate each progress message with a timestamp indicated above. We can also print the timestamp at the very beginning of the job and at the very end. The relevant code is in src/org/apache/pig/impl/mapreduceExec> vi MapReduceLauncher.java.

> Please add timestamps to pig map/reduce progress messages

> From one of the users: 
> ------------------------------
> I'm spending a lot of time trying to optimize my pig queries for short
> run-times.  This process would be much easier if, in the progress output
> from pig (currently on stdout, but hopefully soon moving to  
> stderr?!), the
> initiation and completion of each map/reduce job could be  
> timestamped.  Pig
> already spits out messages of the form "----- MapReduce Job -----",  
> "Input:
> ...", "Combine: ...", etc; could you just add a "Timestamp: ..."
> field as well?	Or ideally, both "Starting timestamp: ..." and	
> "Finishing
> timestamp ...".
> Additional comments from another user:
> ------------------------------------------------------
> I'm adding my vote for this as well.
> I'd like to know timestamp and "running time" in seconds or D;H:M:S:
> Thu Oct 25 10:06:01 GMT 2007 (0:00:12:56): 56% done
> Starting and stopping timestamps in the log would also be valuable.
> Unforutately, there's no "workaround" such as putting a date command before and after the pig command in logging --
> queuing times can be seconds to hours and completely mess up any notion of job execution time.
