Hong Tang commented on PIG-652:
-------------------------------
I might miss something. How can the outputformat class retrieve the schema
information? The output format is constructed with its default constructor, and
then its getRecordWriter is called with name like part-001, part-002, but not
the path to the basic table.
> 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.
