Hi All, Is there a need/mechanism to report progress in a storage UDF? Thanks in advance. - Sandesh
Progress is reported by Pig operators, so in general other operators
in your pipeline should be reporting progress so that the store
function does not need to. The store function is not passed a
reference to the progress reporter, so it would not be able to report
progress anyway. The progress reporter is passed to eval funcs
because some users write eval funcs that do complex processing and may
take enough time that they need to report progress.
