-------------------------------

There seems to be an issue with maven repo.  We'll attach jar files and update 
build scripts.

> This JIRA is a proposal to create a Hadoop table management service: Owl. 
> Today, MapReduce and Pig applications interacts directly with HDFS 
> directories and files and must deal with low level data management issues 
> such as storage format, serialization/compression schemes, data layout, and 
> efficient data accesses, etc, often with different solutions. Owl aims to 
> provide a standard way to addresses this issue and abstracts away the 
> complexities of reading/writing huge amount of data from/to HDFS.
> Owl has a data access API that is modeled after the traditional Hadoop 
> !InputFormt and a management API to manipulate Owl objects.  This JIRA is 
> related to Pig-823 (Hadoop Metadata Service) as Owl has an internal metadata 
> store.  Owl integrates with different storage module like Zebra with a 
> pluggable architecture.
>  Initially, the proposal is to submit Owl as a Pig contrib project.  Over 
> time, it makes sense to move it to a Hadoop subproject.
