Jonathan Coveney commented on PIG-3015:
---------------------------------------
Joseph, as gratitude for the effort you've put into this, I spent a chunk of my
day giving it some eyes. Thank you for this! It also is timely, as I need to be
ramping up on avro myself, so good stuff. I gave some comments in the RB,
though nothing major, mostly style stuff, some error handling, etc. Except a +1
soon :)
I think it should be in the main Pig branch.
As an aside, what is the plan w.r.t. Pig types that are not Avro types?

> 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.
