-------------------------------
Summary: Allow AvroStorage to use a class for the schema
Key: PIG-4570
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4570
Project: Pig
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Paul Mazak
Priority: Minor
When you are managing Avro Schemas in your source code and you have the Java
classes to serialize/deserialize Avro, it would be easier to do something like:
{quote}
store a into 'tmp/myuser' using AvroStorage(null, '-schemaclass
com.myco.MyUser')
{quote}
Rather than passing as the first agurment, the entire Avro schema json in the
pig script, or keeping a (potentially outdated) set of Avro schema files in
HDFS for the -schemafile option.
If your classpath is already aware of how to serialize/deserialize the Avro
data, it would be good to leverage that with a fully qualified classname.
