Well, it seems a little odd to me (if anything it seems like a new TLP associated with hadoop and generic distributed computing tools like pig that are built on top of hadoop seems like it would make more sense than just a pig TLP), but if that's what the people involved want I don't see anything wrong with it. I mean it's not like a decision on a final home for the project has to happen now anyway. In any event, +1 from me, this is a neat project and I'd be happy to see it here. -garrett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
