Pradeep Kamath commented on PIG-1090: ------------------------------------- bq. What's the ReadToEndLoader? This is a internal utility LoadFunc I wrote to make it easy to read side files. It encapsulates the real Loader. Though this has been implemented as a LoadFunc, the only LoadFunc method which is truly implemented is getNext(). The usage pattern is to construct an instance using the constructor which would take a reference to the true LoadFunc (which can read the side file data) and then repeatedly call getNext() till null is encountered in the return value. The implementation of ReadToEndLoader hides the actions of getting InputSplits from the underlying InputFormat and then processing each split by getting the RecordReader and processing data in the split before moving to the next. bq. What's the plan for BinStorage? An input and output format has already been created and checked in in this branch for Binstorage > Update sources to reflect recent changes in load-store interfaces > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1090 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1090 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Pradeep Kamath > Assignee: Pradeep Kamath > Attachments: PIG-1090.patch > > > There have been some changes (as recorded in the Changes Section, Nov 2 2009 > sub section of http://wiki.apache.org/pig/LoadStoreRedesignProposal) in the > load/store interfaces - this jira is to track the task of making those > changes under src.
