Hong Tang commented on PIG-652:
-------------------------------
Since this API is supposed to provide backend specific output classes,
shouldn't the API take a parameter describing the backend?
For MR backend, the returned class would be implementing OutputFormat<Text,
Tuple> ? Also, need to make it public the keys in the JobConf object describing
path, schema, compression, etc.
> Need to give user control of OutputFormat

> Pig currently allows users some control over InputFormat via the Slicer and
> Slice interfaces. It does not allow any control over OutputFormat and
> RecordWriter interfaces. It just allows the user to implement a storage
> function that controls how the data is serialized. For hadoop tables, we
> will need to allow custom OutputFormats that prepare output information and
> objects needed by a Table store function.
