Alan Gates commented on PIG-1331: --------------------------------- Patch as provided doesn't build. It gets an ivy error. I've attached a copy of the stdout and stderr from the build run. > Owl Hadoop Table Management Service > ----------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1331 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1331 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Jay Tang > Attachments: build.log, owl.contrib.3.tgz > > > This JIRA is a proposal to create a Hadoop table management service: Owl. > Today, MapReduce and Pig applications interacts directly with HDFS > directories and files and must deal with low level data management issues > such as storage format, serialization/compression schemes, data layout, and > efficient data accesses, etc, often with different solutions. Owl aims to > provide a standard way to addresses this issue and abstracts away the > complexities of reading/writing huge amount of data from/to HDFS. > Owl has a data access API that is modeled after the traditional Hadoop > !InputFormt and a management API to manipulate Owl objects. This JIRA is > related to Pig-823 (Hadoop Metadata Service) as Owl has an internal metadata > store. Owl integrates with different storage module like Zebra with a > pluggable architecture. > Initially, the proposal is to submit Owl as a Pig contrib project. Over > time, it makes sense to move it to a Hadoop subproject. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
