-----------------------------------------------------

Hi,
I was considering applying for this project.
>From what I know of Pig's codebase, the refactoring effort would be large.
There will be changes throughout the whole code as a new datatype is introduced and most of the code is based on a switch pattern.

Is the code produced up to know still synced with trunk or should the patch be started over?

Maybe the original author of the patch is a better candidate for this project :)

> Pig needs a Boolean data type.  Pig-1097 is dependent on doing this.  
> I volunteer.  Is there anything beyond the work in src/org/apache/pig/data/ plus unit tests to make this work?  
> This is a candidate project for Google summer of code 2011. More information about the program can be found at http://wiki.apache.org/pig/GSoc2011
