Milind Bhandarkar resolved PIG-2097.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Now that the only sponsor is backing out, closing this as won't fix. I reserve
the right to create a hadoop-based hamster project, though :-)
> 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
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> 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.)
