>
> Pig Developers and Mentors,
>
> Pig has been incubating for over a year now. In this period of time, we
> had extended our community with 2 new committers, had a release,
> resolved 300 issues. We have made some significant code improvements
> including pipeline redesign, addition of streaming and limit
> functionality, grunt shell improvements and significant performance
> speedup. We have a constant traffic and lively discussions on both
> pig-dev and pig-user mailing lists and we conduct our business in the
> open by publishing proposals and discussing them in the mailing lists.
>
> As of now, we have completed graduation requirements as described in
> http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html.
>
> I would like to call for a graduation vote at this time.
>
> I would also propose that we graduate as a subproject of Hadoop. There
> are several advantages to this approach. First, this would allow us to
> extend both our user and developer base. Second, it would bring benefits
> to the Hadoop community by providing a higher level interface and easier
> entry point for new users. Third, having an established project to
> provide guidance, would help Pig to become a mature participant in the
> open source community.
>
> Please, vote by the end of the day on Thursday, 10/9.
>
> Thanks,

> PS: I am ccing  hadoop and incubator general mailing lists; however, no
> action is required from them at this time. This step is for Pig
