Chao Wang updated PIG-1125: --------------------------- Attachment: PIG-1125.patch > [zebra] Using typed APIs for Zebra's Map/Reduce interface > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1125 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1125 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.4.0 > Reporter: Chao Wang > Assignee: Chao Wang > Fix For: 0.6.0, 0.7.0 > > Attachments: PIG-1125.patch > > > We plan to modify Zebra's M/R interface to use typed APIs, i.e., APIs taking > object arguments, instead of String arguments. > Take TableInputFormat as an example: > setSchema(jobConf conf, String schema) is changing to setSchema(jobConf conf, > ZebraSchemaInfo schemaInfo) > setProjection(jobConf conf, String projection) is changing to > setProjection(jobConf conf, ZebraProjectionInfo projectionInfo) > and so on. > Benefits: 1) Typed APIs make it easier to detect usage mistakes earlier and > 2) Typed APIs are richer and hide things better. > In the meanwhile, we plan to make the old APIs deprecated, instead of > removing them, for the sake of safety. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
