Why pins are used in small head of connecting rod???

A journal bearing is used at the big end of connecting rod (crankshaft side) but not at the small end . on the contrary a pin is used. why is that? why can't we use journal bearing at the small end too.
I am considering a huge reciprocating compressor/pump

2. we have a double acting reciprocating compressor having bush & pin. My boss told me that bearings ain't used as they are Babbitted & can't take impact load .
