Achal Soni commented on PIG-3419:
---------------------------------
I agree with all that is said, but there is no need to rename HExecutionEngine
back. It doesn't semantically make sense and I don't think that anybody was
directly interacting it outside of the test cases?
Whatever changes to Ambrose and Lipstick should be communicated clearly also. I
have noted some issues with PPNL before with regard to abstraction -- namely,
Pig provides the MROperPlan to the listeners, which is not relevant in a
differen execution engine. Julien suggested this should be fixed in a follow up
patch. This will most certainly affect Ambrose and Lipstick so we should be
cautious in that regard.

> In an effort to adapt Pig to work using Apache Tez
> (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ), I made some changes to allow for
> a cleaner ExecutionEngine abstraction than existed before. The changes are
> not that major as Pig was already relatively abstracted out between the
> frontend and backend. The changes in the attached commit are essentially the
> barebones changes -- I tried to not change the structure of Pig's different
> components too much. I think it will be interesting to see in the future how
> we can refactor more areas of Pig to really honor this abstraction between
> the frontend and backend.
> Some of the changes was to reinstate an ExecutionEngine interface to tie
> together the front end and backend, and making the changes in Pig to delegate
> to the EE when necessary, and creating an MRExecutionEngine that implements
> this interface. Other work included changing ExecType to cycle through the
> ExecutionEngines on the classpath and select the appropriate one (this is
> done using Java ServiceLoader, exactly how MapReduce does for choosing the
> framework to use between local and distributed mode). Also I tried to make
> ScriptState, JobStats, and PigStats as abstract as possible in its current
> state. I think in the future some work will need to be done here to perhaps
> re-evaluate the usage of ScriptState and the responsibilities of the
> different statistics classes. I haven't touched the PPNL, but I think more
> abstraction is needed here, perhaps in a separate patch.
