Hi Pig Users and Developers, I asked a question on the dev mailing list, earlier today about Pig and Storm. However, having thought more about it, I think the user list is more appropriate. Here's the original email verbatim.
"I wanted to reach out to you all and ask for you opinion on something. As a Pig user, I have come to love Pig as a framework. Pig provides a great set of abstractions that make working with large datasets easy. Currently Pig is only backed by hadoop. However, with the new rise of Twitter Storm as a distributed real time processing engine, Pig users are missing out on a great opportunity to be able to work with Pig in Storm. As a user of Pig, Hadoop and Storm, and keeping with the Pig philosophy of "Pigs live anywhere," I'd like to get your thoughts on starting the implementation of a Pig backend for Storm." Thanks Pradeep
