Ted Dunning commented on MAPREDUCE-1849:
----------------------------------------

Pig is not a suitable framework for this because it imposes very high overhead 
due to a very wide and complex API and no abstract syntax layer.

Contrarily, Plume is moving along very nicely.  We have a preliminary optimizer 
that actually does some important optimizations that Pig doesn't do.
