Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-10542:
----------------------------------------------
I agree. No one in the core maintainers has any expertise of Pig itself and our
Pig code in particular, and no one else has step up to maintain that code
properly. And it's something that can totally live outside of the main project
if others have willingness to maintain it.
> Deprecate Pig support in 2.2 and remove it in 3.0

> Key: CASSANDRA-10542
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10542
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Aleksey Yeschenko
> Assignee: Aleksey Yeschenko
> Fix For: 2.2.x, 3.0.0 rc2
>
>
> Nobody's currently responsible for Pig code. As a result, there is nobody to
> fix the issues, or even fix the failing tests (of which we unfortunately have
> plenty). Those tests take time to run, constantly hang, and fail with cryptic
> errors that we don't know how to fix and don't have enough resources to
> investigate.
> Thus I propose we deprecate Pig support in 2.2 and remove it in 3.0.
