Hey,
Thanks for writing up these notes, they're very useful.
Pradeep Kamath gave a short presentation on Howl, the work he is
leading to
create a shared metadata system between Pig, Hive, and Map Reduce.

noted that we need to get this work more in the open so others can
participate and contribute.
Is there a public JIRA where one could follow this work? Any chance
we can
break it up into incremental milestones rather than have a single
code drop
as with previous large features in Pig? I understand it may be
difficult to
coordinate internal development with external user groups, but I
hope the
feedback from third parties might make such a process worthwhile.
A wiki page outlining Howl is at http://wiki.apache.org/pig/Howl
A howldev mailing list has been set up on Yahoo! groups for
discussions on Howl. You can subscribe by sending mail to howldev-subscr...@yahoogroups.com
. We plan on putting the code on github in a read only repository.
It will be a few more days before we get there. It will be announced
on the list when it is.
Alan.
