[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-1162) Put the pig loadfunc for Cassandra into core

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1162:
-------------------------------------------

"It seems to work better against a hadoop cluster."  Pig supports standalone operation w/o hadoop underneath?

> Currently the Pig loadfunc for Cassandra lives in a contrib module.  Currently it also doesn't work properly in all cases so it would need some fixing there too.  For example, I haven't gotten it to work standalone with just pig.  It seems to work better against a hadoop cluster.
> The other question for putting it into core is whether we keep an example of it's usage in contrib - kind of like what we're doing with WordCount - only for pig - the reason being is that you need at least Pig somewhere for the CassandraStore (the loadfunc) to actually be useful.  Seems very similar to the WordCount case though - and it can be more stable with CassandraStore being built with core (hopefully).
