- Olga Natkovich gave a whiteboard talk on HOwl.
- HOwl = Hive !MetaStore + Owl = shared metadata system between Pig, Hive, and Map Reduce
- HOwl will likely leverage the !MetaStore schema and ORM layer.
- A somewhat outdated Owl design document is available here: http://wiki.apache.org/pig/owl
- Carl gave an update on progress with the 0.6.0 release.
- There was a discussion about the plan to move the documentation off of the wiki and into version control.
- Several people voiced concerns that developers/users are less likely to update the documentation if doing so requires them to submit a patch.
- The new proposal for documentation reached at the meeting is as follows:
- The trunk version of the documentation will be maintained on the wiki.
- As part of the release process the documentation will be copied off of the wiki and converted to xdoc, and then checked into svn.
- HTML documentation generated from the xdoc will be posted to the Hive webpage when the new release is posted.
- Carl is going to investigate the feasibility of writing a tool that converts documentation directly from !MoinMoin wiki markup to xdoc.
- John agreed to host the next contributors meeting at Facebook.
