-------------------------------------
Summary: Investigate the future of the Pig action
Key: OOZIE-3514
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-3514
Project: Oozie
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Andras Salamon
Fix For: 6.0
Pig is one of the oldest actions in Oozie, it was part of the original open
source release.
Right now one important Oozie task ( OOZIE-2973 - Make sure Oozie works with
Hadoop 3 ) is blocked by a PIG issue ( PIG-5253 ) for a very long time and I
don't really think this issue will be solved soon:
* The latest Pig version (0.17) was released almost 2 years ago.
* There are only [6 commits|https://github.com/apache/pig/commits/trunk] in
the project in 2019.
I think sooner or later we have to choose if we want to support Hadoop 3 or
Pig, and Hadoop3 is much more important for Oozie. I think we may consider
dropping Pig support. Of course such a big change should only targeted to 6.0,
but we could already make it deprecated in the next minor (5.2) version.
