Cheng Guang-Nan commented on PIG-2143:
--------------------------------------
Would like to have the -overwrite option implimented.
Also it's ugly that while what I want is to overwrite exsting output location
and I have to speicify the delimter again.
{code}
store mystuff into 'myplace' using PigStorage('\t', '-overwrite');
{code}
> Make PigStorage optionally store schema; improve docs.

> I'd like to propose that we allow for a greater degree of customization in
> PigStorage.
> An incomplete list features that we might want to add:
> - flag to tell it to overwrite existing output if it exists
> - flag to tell it to compress output using gzip|bzip|lzo (currently this can
> be achieved by setting the directory name to end in .gz or .bz2, which is a
> bit awkward)
> - flag to tell it to store the schema and header (perhaps by merging in
> PigStorageSchema work?)
