Hi Allan, thanks for your interest in Pig. Sorry for the late answer.
Having some experience with MR is surely a plus if you are going to work on this feature. The other things you would need are good Java coding skills and a lot of patience to spend time understanding how Pig works. If you decide to apply I will be happy to help you out with this.
