James Violette commented on PHOENIX-11:
---------------------------------------

Why invent a new syntax when a select statement already works for column 
projection, and has where clause predicates?

Presumably with an an hbase table, there are billions of rows and a pig script 
would need to pick out a subset. We like Phoenix precisely because it can do 
such a selection using regular SQL tools. 

Is there a complication to using a prepared statement behind the pig loader 
interface?
