Hi, Thank you everyone for all your support. It has been a very enjoyable experience to work with pig community.
I plan get involved through GSoC platform to contribute to pig project. I will be working on addition of support for nested foreach. I will also try to work on jiras related to this support (Please assign related jiras to me). My proposal to GSoC can be found at -- http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2011/aniket486/1 <http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2011/aniket486/1>I worked on a couple of interesting projects at Yahoo last summer to learn about internals of pig parser, logical plan build, construction of physical and mr plans from the logical plan. While working on support for scalars, I learnt about various passes in pig to reconstruct plans to optimize execution and limitations on it. In Pig 0.9, a few things have changed with parsers and optimizers. Hence, it would be beneficial for me if you can help me out with any comments and remarks on my approach. Here are my current thoughts on support of Nested Foreach -( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1631) Pig currently supports nested_proj which internally streams the bag. This support can be extended by assigning innerplan to this streaming with nested_foreach. First step is to add parser support for this. But, this would need changes further to restrict generic support to the innerplan depending upon pig limitations. Currently, I am exploring various possibilities to add buildNestedForeachOp to logicalplanbuilder with or without using existing "generate_clause". I will upload a patch to jira once get projection support through nested foreach. Please let me know your comments on the same.
