Alan Gates commented on PIG-259:
--------------------------------
Sorry, I missed that it was already for load-store redesign.
In the new load/store scheme we can't assume that outputs are files. So
putting a DFS remove statement into JobControlCompiler won't be the right way
to do this. What does overwrite mean when we're storing to HBase instead of
DFS? It seems that this needs to be defined on the per store function basis,
which implies it needs to somehow be part of the store function interface.
This could be done by adding a boolean to validate or by adding a new method to
the StoreFunc interface to overwrite.
