[jira] [Commented] (PIG-2586) A better plan/data flow visualizer
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2586?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13410996#comment-13410996 ]
Manuranga Perera commented on PIG-2586:
---------------------------------------
HI, I am currently working on creating (client side) SVGs for a given plan (in json format).
source code for this is available at following github repo : https://github.com/manuranga/svg-graph .
currently it is possible to generate simple plans with some nested plans.

> Pig supports a dot graph style plan to visualize the logical/physical/mapreduce plan (explain with -dot option, see http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449302641/developing_and_testing.html). However, dot graph takes extra step to generate the plan graph and the quality of the output is not good. It's better we can implement a better visualizer for Pig. It should:
> 1. show operator type and alias
> 2. turn on/off output schema
> 3. dive into foreach inner plan on demand
> 4. provide a way to show operator source code, eg, tooltip of an operator (plan don't currently have this information, but you can assume this is in place)
> 5. besides visualize logical/physical/mapreduce plan, visualize the script itself is also useful
> 6. may rely on some java graphic library such as Swing
> This is a candidate project for Google summer of code 2012. More information about the program can be found at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PIG/GSoc2012
