Jonathan Coveney commented on PIG-2948:
---------------------------------------
Russell,
I'm curious what you have in mind here. What is gained from having a specific
type for these things that you couldn't do by passing around bytearrays
(besides the cost of serialization)?
> Add multimedia support to Pig: types for images, audio, video common document
> formats and accompanying internal-UDFs

> Key: PIG-2948
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2948
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: data, documentation, e2e harness, grunt, impl,
> internal-udfs, parser, piggybank, tools
> Environment: Pie in the Sky.
> Inside my head. Someone mentioned this last evening and I decided to JIRA it.

> Assignee: Russell Jurney
> Priority: Minor

> Pig should have support for multimedia: images, audio, video, common document
> formats. By continuing to add additional types, Pig can outpace other tools.
> Ideally a java-based library that can already handle these formats would be
> used to transform them to Pig relations.
