Cheolsoo Park commented on PIG-3015: ------------------------------------ I think the patch is very close to being committed. Two main obstacles are: # Tests do not pass with Hadoop-2.0.x (i.e. ant clean test -Dtestcase=TestAvroStorage -Dhadoopversion=23). # Documentation is missing. I will give another shot on debugging #1 when I get more time, but any help would be appreciated! > Rewrite of AvroStorage > ---------------------- > > Key: PIG-3015 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3015 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: piggybank > Reporter: Joseph Adler > Assignee: Joseph Adler > Attachments: bad.avro, good.avro, PIG-3015-2.patch, PIG-3015-3.patch, > PIG-3015-4.patch, PIG-3015-5.patch, PIG-3015-6.patch, PIG-3015-7.patch, > TestInput.java, Test.java > > > The current AvroStorage implementation has a lot of issues: it requires old > versions of Avro, it copies data much more than needed, and it's verbose and > complicated. (One pet peeve of mine is that old versions of Avro don't > support Snappy compression.) > I rewrote AvroStorage from scratch to fix these issues. In early tests, the > new implementation is significantly faster, and the code is a lot simpler. > Rewriting AvroStorage also enabled me to implement support for Trevni (as > TrevniStorage). > I'm opening this ticket to facilitate discussion while I figure out the best > way to contribute the changes back to Apache. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
