Arun C Murthy commented on HIVE-1107:
-------------------------------------

+1 on the direction to get Pig and Hive to use common infrastructure for DAG 
execution.

{quote}
1) A way to serialize and exchange this DAG (e.g. Avro, JSON, XML)
2) A service to execute the DAG and ensure it runs to completion
{quote}

+1

Some more:

# Ability to modify the DAG on the fly, potentially in reaction to execution of 
parents of the nodes.
# Maybe shared infrastructure for ability to restart the necessary components 
of the DAG etc.

----

I agree with Russell that Oozie seems too complicated for this task. 

Potentially, as Zheng suggested, a generalized form of JobControl from 
Map-Reduce could be the answer, it could be something that Pig, Hive and 
potentially even Oozie can co-opt.

> Pig and Hive each have their own libraries for handling plan execution. As we 
> prepare to invest more time improving Hive's plan execution mechanism we 
> should also start to consider ways of building a generic plan execution 
> mechanism that is capable of supporting the needs of Hive and Pig, as well as 
> other Hadoop data flow programming environments.
