    Description

      Pig is one of the oldest actions in Oozie, it was part of the original open source release.

      Right now one important Oozie task ( OOZIE-2973 - Make sure Oozie works with Hadoop 3 ) is blocked by a PIG issue ( PIG-5253 ) for a very long time and I don't really think this issue will be solved soon:

      • The latest Pig version (0.17) was released almost 2 years ago.
      • There are only 6 commits in the project in 2019.

      I think sooner or later we have to choose if we want to support Hadoop 3 or Pig, and Hadoop3 is much more important for Oozie. I think we may consider dropping Pig support. Of course such a big change should only targeted to 6.0, but we could already make it deprecated in the next minor (5.2) version.
