Hi there,

Ben and Chris mentioned at the pig user meeting multiple input files can be used for pig. However this is only true for text files since pig uses a own inputformat.

I wonder why is using pig such a input format and do not use hadoops sequence file or text input format. By browsing the code I can't see any very pig specific functionality there? What do I miss?

I would love to work on supporting any kind of sequence files (value.toString to convert the value to a string) and allow multiple input files.
Any thoughts?

Stefan
