> The current implementation of the logical plan and the logical optimizer in
> Pig has proven to not be easily extensible. Developer feedback has indicated
> that adding new rules to the optimizer is quite burdensome. In addition, the
> logical plan has been an area of numerous bugs, many of which have been
> difficult to fix. Developers also feel that the logical plan is difficult to
> understand and maintain. The root cause for these issues is that a number of
> design decisions that were made as part of the 0.2 rewrite of the front end
> have now proven to be sub-optimal. The heart of this proposal is to revisit a
> number of those proposals and rebuild the logical plan with a simpler design
> that will make it much easier to maintain the logical plan as well as extend
> the logical optimizer.
> See http://wiki.apache.org/pig/PigLogicalPlanOptimizerRewrite for full
> details.
