Alan Gates commented on PIG-262:
--------------------------------
If we feel that strongly that we need to insert the casts before type checking,
I think I should just put it in the validator framework. There's no reason to
split the optimizer over it, when the validator can handle it.

>
> We need to add an optimizer to pig. This will enable us to do some
> traditional optimizations, such as filter and projection pushing, join order
> and execution choices, etc. It will also enable optimizations specific to
> map/reduce (such as using the combiner).
> The optimizer will need to operate at various levels, including the logical,
> physical, and possibly map/reduce plan levels.
