Hi, My name is Santosh and I am the Product Manager for Pig at Cloudera. Cloudera is _not_ abandoning Pig at all. Pig is widely used among our customers. We are fully committed to supporting it. Upstream Pig versions are not the best way to think about CDH Pig. CDH 5.8 Pig contains base v0.12 + numerous features/enhancements/fixes including some from v0.16 provided these pass our stability and quality standards. That's because our customers have consistently told us that stability and quality are their highest priority when it comes to Pig. We have not rebased since v0.12 because v0.13 added support for pluggable compute engine (Tez) that caused a significant code churn and introduced instability. Next two releases v0.14 and v0.15 mostly stabilized Pig on Tez with very few additional features or enhancements. More recently v0.16 has been released which is a good candidate for rebase and work has already started on rebasing CDH Pig to v0.16. To reiterate, Cloudera is fully committed to supporting Pig and making the most stable and reliable release of Pig available to them.
