------------------------------------

Hi Joseph,

To answer your questions:

1) If I am not mistaken, o.a.p.impl.builtin is for internal built-in UDFs. I 
don't know exactly what your helper classes are like, but would o.a.p.impl.util 
be a better place?

Looking at the package tree, I also noticed that there is an *.impl.util 
package for each sub-component of Pig. So if your helper classes are 
AvroStorage-specific, you may want to create two new packages called 
o.a.p.hadoop.avro and o.a.p.hadoop.avro.util, and add AvroStorage to 
hadoop.avro and helper classes to hadoop.avro.util respectively.

Please anyone correct me if I am wrong here. I am a new committer. :-)

2) What you propose sounds good to me.

Thanks!

> The current AvroStorage implementation has a lot of issues: it requires old 
> versions of Avro, it copies data much more than needed, and it's verbose and 
> complicated. (One pet peeve of mine is that old versions of Avro don't 
> support Snappy compression.)
> I rewrote AvroStorage from scratch to fix these issues. In early tests, the 
> new implementation is significantly faster, and the code is a lot simpler. 
> Rewriting AvroStorage also enabled me to implement support for Trevni.
> I'm opening this ticket to facilitate discussion while I figure out the best 
> way to contribute the changes back to Apache.
