Hong Tang commented on PIG-652: ------------------------------- You probably want to provide utility method for getting back the StoreFunc from a JobConf, instead of forcing people into copy/paste internal pig code... > Need to give user control of OutputFormat > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-652 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-652 > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
