A better plan/data flow visualizer
----------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-2586
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2586
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: impl
            Reporter: Daniel Dai


Pig supports a dot graph style plan to visualize the logical/physical/mapreduce 
plan (explain with -dot option, see 
http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449302641/developing_and_testing.html). 
However, dot graph takes extra step to generate the plan graph and the quality 
of the output is not good. It's better we can implement a better visualizer for 
Pig. It should:
1. show operator type and alias
2. turn on/off output schema
3. dive into foreach inner plan on demand
4. provide a way to show operator source code, eg, tooltip of an operator (plan 
don't currently have this information, but you can assume this is in place)
5. besides visualize logical/physical/mapreduce plan, visualize the script 
itself is also useful
