Russell Jurney commented on PIG-2948:
-------------------------------------
I just found this: http://hipi.cs.virginia.edu/
There is an existing inputformat, and lots there to work with. This could be
the basis for creating an image loader in Pig.
> Add multimedia support to Pig: types for images, audio, video common document
> formats and accompanying internal-UDFs

> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: data, documentation, e2e harness, grunt, impl,
> internal-udfs, parser, piggybank, tools
> Environment: Pie in the Sky.

> Pig should have support for multimedia: images, audio, video, common document
> formats. By continuing to add additional types, Pig can outpace other tools.
> Ideally a java-based library that can already handle these formats would be
> used to transform them to Pig relations.
