Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-2586:
----------------------------------------
I know at least one of the students who applied to GSOC for this project was
accepted, with Russ and Daniel co-mentoring. Could the proposal be posted in
this ticket?
> A better plan/data flow visualizer
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-2586
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2586
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: impl
> Reporter: Daniel Dai
> Labels: gsoc2012
>
> Pig supports a dot graph style plan to visualize the
> logical/physical/mapreduce plan (explain with -dot option, see
> http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449302641/developing_and_testing.html).
> However, dot graph takes extra step to generate the plan graph and the
> quality of the output is not good. It's better we can implement a better
> visualizer for Pig. It should:
> 1. show operator type and alias
> 2. turn on/off output schema
> 3. dive into foreach inner plan on demand
> 4. provide a way to show operator source code, eg, tooltip of an operator
> (plan don't currently have this information, but you can assume this is in
> place)
> 5. besides visualize logical/physical/mapreduce plan, visualize the script
> itself is also useful
> 6. may rely on some java graphic library such as Swing
> This is a candidate project for Google summer of code 2012. More information
> about the program can be found at
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PIG/GSoc2012
