Srikanth Sundarrajan commented on FALCON-113:
---------------------------------------------
This should perhaps appear earlier in the docs, as there are references to this
in earlier sections.
{code}
+---+++ Storage
+Falcon introduces a new abstraction to encapsulate the storage for a given
feed which can either be
+expressed as a path on the file system, File System Storage or a table in a
catalog, Catalog Storage.
{code}
>From the example it is not clear what would the values for input_database &
>input_table and similarly output_database and output_table be. Can this be
>illustrated more clearly.
{code}
+---++++ Pig Script
+
+<verbatim>
+A = load '$input_database.$input_table' using
org.apache.hcatalog.pig.HCatLoader();
+B = FILTER A BY $input_filter;
+C = foreach B generate id, value;
+store C into '$output_database.$output_table' USING
org.apache.hcatalog.pig.HCatStorer('$output_dataout_partitions');
+</verbatim>
{code}
This is perhaps true today but I feel that this shouldn't be part of the doc,
perhaps is an apt candidate for the main page of falcon.incubator.apache.org.
We dont want to update system documentation & user guide should an alternate
solution become available.
{code}
+Falcon is the only platform that provides OOTB [[HiveIntegration][lifecycle
management for Tables in Hive (HCatalog)]]
+such as table replication for BCP and table eviction.
{code}
