Hi everyone, Attached is a (very) preliminary document outlining a rough design we are proposing for a cost-based optimizer for Pig. This is being done as a capstone project by three CMU Master's students (myself, Ashutosh Chauhan, and Tejal Desai). As such, it is not necessarily meant for immediate incorporation into the Pig codebase, although it would be nice if it, or parts of it, are found to be useful in the mainline.
We would love to get some feedback from the developer community regarding the ideas expressed in the document, any concerns about the design, suggestions for improvement, etc. Thanks, Dmitriy, Ashutosh, Tejal
