> It would be nice if Pig played better with Maps. To that end, I'd like to add a lot of utility around Maps.
> - TOBAG should take a Map and output {(key, value)}
> - TOMAP should take a Bag in that same form and make a map.
> - KEYSET should return the set of keys.
> - VALUESET should return the set of values.
> - VALUELIST should return the List of values (no deduping).
> - INVERSEMAP would return a Map of values => the set of keys that refer to that Key
> This would all be pretty easy. A more substantial piece of work would be to make Pig support non-String keys (this is especially an issue since UDFs and whatnot probably assume that they are all Integers). Not sure if it is worth it.
> I'd love to hear other things that would be useful for people!
