-------------------------------------
+1 lgtm.
> Package HCatalog pig support as a separate jar

> Key: HCATALOG-434
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-434
> Project: HCatalog
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Travis Crawford
> Assignee: Travis Crawford
>
> HCatalog's pig support should be moved into a separate jar.
> DETAILS:
> One of HCatalog's major goals is making the HiveMetaStore accessible to other
> processing frameworks (pig for example). If we bundle everything inside a
> single hcatalog.jar it will have a large number of processing framework
> dependencies.
> For example, let's say HCatalog has the core classes, and adaptors for pig &
> scalding all bundled inside a single hcatalog.jar. The maven dependencies
> will include both pig & scalding. Projects integrating with hcat either end
> up with way more dependencies than necessary, or they need to pick & choose
> which dependencies to include in their project.
> Packaging pig support as a separate jar allows users to get the pig support
> without dependencies from other processing frameworks.
