Alan Gates commented on PIG-1117:
---------------------------------
Gerrit, is this ready to be reviewed again or should I wait until you implement
fieldsToRead?
Also, I wanted to give you a heads up on the changes in the load/store branch
(see PIG-966). This will affect your code. It's still fine to work on this
and check it into trunk so you and others can use it now. But when we merge
that branch into trunk (currently anticipated sometime in February or March) it
will require changing your slicer to an InputFormat and making changes in your
LoadFunc. Assuming Hive has an InputFormat for RCFile you may be able to use
that directly.

> I've coded a LoadFunc implementation that can read from Hive Columnar RC
> tables, this is needed for a project that I'm working on because all our data
> is stored using the Hive thrift serialized Columnar RC format. I have looked
> at the piggy bank but did not find any implementation that could do this.
> We've been running it on our cluster for the last week and have worked out
> most bugs.
>
> There are still some improvements to be done but I would need like setting
> the amount of mappers based on date partitioning. Its been optimized so as to
> read only specific columns and can churn through a data set almost 8 times
> faster with this improvement because not all column data is read.
> I would like to contribute the class to the piggybank can you guide me in
> what I need to do?
> I've used hive specific classes to implement this, is it possible to add this
> to the piggy bank build ivy for automatic download of the dependencies?
