Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-1331:
-------------------------------------
Pig will be the first consumer of it because of SQL that we are planning to
open source shortly. We are open for it to move out once we have an agreement
on where is should reside permanently.
> Owl Hadoop Table Management Service

> Key: PIG-1331
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1331
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: New Feature

> 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.
