Is there overlap there with the error handling proposal?
I don't think so. The error handling proposal is about how to handle errors that happen when you are running Pig jobs. Penny is a way to instrument your scripts so that you can do things like crash analysis, etc. In that way it's similar to the interface that java makes available to tools like gcov for doing byte code insertion. Instrumenting code you're using in a production environment would be prohibitively expensive.
Also: think error handling can make it into 0.9 or are we thinking 0.10?
Given that no one is actively working on it and we're hoping to end feature development on 0.9 in the next month, I don't see how there will be time.
