Jeff Hammerbacher commented on PIG-833: --------------------------------------- Hey Hong, I never mentioned SQL or an ecosystem in my comment, but thanks for your observation. I was simply referring to the existence of a fairly detailed discussion in a related subproject that the Pig team may not have been following. I'll add an additional one here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-279 addresses the predicate pushdown feature. Regards, Jeff > Storage access layer > -------------------- > > Key: PIG-833 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-833 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Jay Tang > > A layer is needed to provide a high level data access abstraction and a > tabular view of data in Hadoop, and could free Pig users from implementing > their own data storage/retrieval code. This layer should also include a > columnar storage format in order to provide fast data projection, > CPU/space-efficient data serialization, and a schema language to manage > physical storage metadata. Eventually it could also support predicate > pushdown for further performance improvement. Initially, this layer could be > a contrib project in Pig and become a hadoop subproject later on. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
