Hi,

I was wondering where I could get the schema information (basically the
output of 'describe') to use in a StoreFunc. I'd like to get the schema for
all tuples in a given bag ahead of time (assuming all tuples in the bag
share a common schema), and construct appropriate key names for encoding
Tuples in JSON, thus preserving whatever aliases were used to load data in
the script.

Any help would be appreciated.

As a sidebar, is it now the appropriate time to work on a version of such a
StoreFunc with the new redesigned spec (links to docs?) Or is it okay to
hold off for now?

Hi guys, I think these earlier threads answer the question (0.6 -- no; 0.7
-- yes).

Zaki: Olga just sent an email to dev about forking 0.7 for release, so now
might be a good time if you are planning on upgrading when 0.7 get released.
It's pretty stable, API-wise.

-D
