Hi, Thanks for the replies and feedback. I was not aware of the mentor situation. I hope that can be resolved. I have made the proposal public, so you should able to see it without registration [1].
@Daniel, in reply to melange comment Reason why I am suggesting doing a web interface, instead of including a command like “explain -script 111.pig -graphics” :- 1.If we make a new java swing window pop up and show the plan diagram, users who are using it via remote accesses (SSH) will have to go through extra trouble to use it. 2. It will be easier to integrate to a web site of a cloud service provider (e.g.:- can be exposed via amazon’s web console). 3. Room for feature expansions. This web UI can be extended to show other important information. For example one can add a side bar showing structure of the working hadoop file system (much like NERDtree). Should I modify the proposal by adding a section on comparison of java GUI approach and web approach? Thanks, and feedback is much appreciated.
