Gianmarco De Francisci Morales commented on PIG-1429:
-----------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I was considering applying for this project.
>From what I know of Pig's codebase, the refactoring effort would be large.
There will be changes throughout the whole code as a new datatype is introduced
and most of the code is based on a switch pattern.
Is the code produced up to know still synced with trunk or should the patch be
started over?
Maybe the original author of the patch is a better candidate for this project :)

> I volunteer. Is there anything beyond the work in src/org/apache/pig/data/
