Hadoop Metadata Service
-----------------------
Key: PIG-823
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-823
Project: Pig
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Olga Natkovich
This JIRA is created to track development of a metadata system for Hadoop. The
goal of the system is to allow users and applications to register data stored
on HDFS, search for the data available on HDFS, and associate metadata such as
schema, statistics, etc. with a particular data unit or a data set stored on
HDFS. The initial goal is to provide a fairly generic, low level abstraction
that any user or application on HDFS can use to store an retrieve metadata.
Over time a higher level abstractions closely tied to particular applications
or tools can be developed.
Over time, it would make sense for the metadata service to become a subproject
within Hadoop. For now, the proposal is to make it a contrib to Pig since Pig
SQL is likely to be the first user of the system.
