Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-136:
------------------------------------

Stefan, this was a general comment about major changes to build.xml. They are 
desraptive for 2 reasons:

- the rearrangements that are done can cause build failures and need for manual 
cleanup of directories as happened last time
- they are also hard to test because we don't have a way to automate the 
testing. And last time it took us about a day to get things back in order.

That said, sometimes this type of changes are quite necessary but I just want 
us to be careful when deciding to do it since there is cost associated with it.

Regarding library re-arrangements, my preference would be not to tie it to 
hadoop 0.16 upgrade but to have a general discussion on how this should be 
done. I am fine reopenning this bag a changing the title to "Integration with 
hadoop and other libraries. or openning a separate one. Let me know how you 
would like to proceed.

> use hadoop 0.16 for pig

> Since we want to use pig soon in a production scenario and our grid have to 
> run hadoop 0.16 it would be great to update the hadoop version pig is using. 
> Also I think it is always a good idea to try to keep up and code against the 
> latest version since it keeps the gap small.
