Stan Rosenberg commented on PIG-2492:
-------------------------------------
I agree that there needs to be a uniform way of parsing locations of load/store
UDFs. I am not entirely convinced that this functionality should be in a super
class; some UDFs may have an entirely different notion of locations, e.g., a DB
table.
I am currently in the process of patching a good chunk of AvroStorage; e.g., it
now supports reading avro files with different schemas so long that a
meaningful union schema can be derived. Would anyone be willing to help
write/run some unit tests?
