+1. In addition to the new features we've added, our change to use
Hadoop's LineRecordReader brought Pig to parity with Hadoop in the
PigMix tests, about a 30% average performance improvement. This
should be huge for our users.

Hi,
I would like to propose to branch for Pig 0.6.0 release with the
intent
to have a release before the end of the year. We have done a lot of
work
since branching for Pig 0.5.0 that we would like to share with users.
This includes changing how bags are spilled onto disk (PIG-975,
PIG-1037), skewed and fragment-replicated outer join plus many other
performance improvements and bug fixes.
Please vote by Thursday.
Thanks,
Olga
