Rename Pig to "Hamster"
-----------------------
Key: PIG-2097
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2097
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: site
Affects Versions: 0.8.1
Environment: All
Reporter: Milind Bhandarkar
Assignee: Olga Natkovich
Fix For: 0.10
When Pig was incubated, I remember a few folks expressing religious
reservations about the name. Now that the Hadoop ecosystem is becoming more
mature (i.e. GigaOm, TechCrunch etc know what Hadoop is), I believe the
following conversation on Twitter should convince everyone that Pig should be
renamed.
@alanfgates: @rjurney I look forward to seeing a #Pig app in AppStore
@rjurney: @squarecog @alanfgates Let's go for it.
@squarecog: @alanfgates @rjurney the way the market is going, I bet the three
of us could get a good 5 Mil funding for that.
@rjurney: @squarecog @alanfgates Since nobody else did a Pig company, it's sort
of our moral duty.
@techmilnd: @rjurney @squarecog @alanfgates ummm.. Could there be a reason why
there are no "rumors" of a pig spinoff? ;-)
@rjurney: @techmilind @squarecog @alanfgates It's gotta be the name.
@techmilind: @rjurney @squarecog @alanfgates Pig not kosher ? Ok, I will file a
jira to rename it "hamster". All cool hadoop projects start with H anyway.
@squarecog: @techmilind favorited.
So, there you go. I already have a +1 from a committer (although outside of
this Apache thing.)
