Pig to Avro translation -- Pig DatumReader/Writer
-------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-592
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-592
Project: Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: java
Reporter: Scott Carey
Assignee: Scott Carey
Fix For: 1.4.0
It would be great to use Avro to store Pig outputs. Because Avro persists the
schema as well, one can store data in one script, then load it in another and
preserve the schema.
Additionally, one can serialize pig Tuples to Avro and read Avro into pig
Tuples. Avro Schemas are significantly more rich than Pig schemas, but a
limited translation is possible.
