I think a Storm backend for Pig would be AWESOME. Btw, check out HStreaming. It's not FOSS, but shows there is demand. http://www.hstreaming.com/products/community/

As a Pig user, I have come to love Pig as a framework. Pig provides a great set of abstractions that make working with large datasets easy. Currently Pig is only backed by hadoop. However, with the new rise of Twitter Storm as a distributed real time processing engine, Pig users are missing out on a great opportunity to be able to work with Pig in Storm. As a user of Pig, Hadoop and Storm, and keeping with the Pig philosophy of "Pigs live anywhere," I'd like to get your thoughts on starting the implementation of a Pig backend for Storm. Thanks Pradeep
