Cluster configuration

So this is the real deal. The Pig Job mentioned in the previous post failed when the actual file was processed on the EMR cluster. It succeeded only after I resized the cluster and added more heap space.

I used 1 m1.small master node, 10 m1.small code nodes and 5 m1.small task nodes. I think so many nodes are not needed to process this file and just the increased heap without the task nodes would have been sufficient.
