Description

In the Pig 0.5 release we have the option of setting the default reduce parallelism for a script using the following construct:

set default_parallel 100

Unfortunately I do not see this documented on the Reference Manual, in the "SET" section.

http://hadoop.apache.org/pig/docs/r0.5.0/piglatin_reference.html

or in the Cookbook:

http://hadoop.apache.org/pig/docs/r0.5.0/cookbook.html

"Use PARALLEL Keyword" section.
