Alan Gates commented on PIG-794:
--------------------------------
Jeff,
Beyond performance what do you see as the big wins of using Avro? I'm just
thinking here of moving data between MR jobs in a Pig script and between Map
and Reduce phases. I see lots of advantages to users using Avro to store their
data.
