Benjamin Reed commented on PIG-652:
-----------------------------------
can you explain the motivating scenario in more detail? Is it just to avoid
creating the outputstream?
@Hong, you aren't going to be getting the schema from the hadoop jobconf,
you'll be getting that from pig. since a pig job may involve multiple hadoop
jobs. you can't count on passing stuff through hadoop configuration.
> Need to give user control of OutputFormat

> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: impl
> Reporter: Alan Gates
> Assignee: Alan Gates
>
> 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.
