Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-592:
-----------------------------------
> Missing: I have to learn Ivy and make it pull the Pig dependencies.
Pig doesn't currently have any published Maven/Ivy artifacts so this will be
tricky until that happens. Cloudera may start publishing Maven artifacts for
Pig soon, though.
> Pig to Avro translation -- Pig DatumReader/Writer

> 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.
