Fix Version/s: (was: 0.14.0)

> ToAvro to convert any Pig record to an Avro bytearray
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-3111
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3111
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: data, internal-udfs
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0
> Reporter: Russell Jurney
> Assignee: Russell Jurney
> Fix For: 0.15.0
>
>
> I want to create a ToAvro() builtin that converts arbitrary pig fields,
> including complex types (bags, tuples, maps) to avro format as bytearrays.
> This would enable storing Avro records in arbitrary data stores, for example
> HBaseAvroStorage in PIG-2889
> See PIG-2641 for ToJson
> This points to a greater need for customizable/pluggable serialization that
> plugin to storefuncs and do serialization independently. For example, we
> might do these operations:
> a = load 'my_data' as (some_schema);
> b = foreach a generate ToJson(*);
> c = foreach a generate ToAvro(*);
> store b into 'hbase://JsonValueTable' using HBaseStorage(...);
> store c into 'hbase://AvroValueTable' using HBaseStorage(...);
> I'll make a ticket for pluggable serialization separately.
