Milind Bhandarkar commented on HIVE-1107: ----------------------------------------- @jco, @squarecog et al. I have had initial discussions with Keren about this project. I agree that full production-quality unification is a lot of work, and would require super-human effort to get it done in 4 months. So, Keren's internship with Greenplum will focus on producing a prototype. The approach I have proposed to her involves taking an open-source execution engine, which has superset of these operators, which is already proven to work with Hadoop (in fact has Hive implemented on top of it already), and make sure a subset of pig operators are ported to it. > Generic parallel execution framework for Hive (and Pig, and ...) > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1107 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1107 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Carl Steinbach > > Pig and Hive each have their own libraries for handling plan execution.
