> I want to create a ToAvro() builtin that converts arbitrary pig fields, including complex types (bags, tuples, maps) to avro format as bytearrays.
> This would enable storing Avro records in arbitrary data stores, for example HBaseAvroStorage in PIG-2889
> See PIG-2641 for ToJson
> This points to a greater need for customizable/pluggable serialization that plugin to storefuncs and do serialization independently. For example, we might do these operations:
> a = load 'my_data' as (some_schema);
> b = foreach a generate ToJson(*);
> c = foreach a generate ToAvro(*);
> store b into 'hbase://JsonValueTable' using HBaseStorage(...);
> store c into 'hbase://AvroValueTable' using HBaseStorage(...);
> I'll make a ticket for pluggable serialization separately.
