I don't think we have anything like this yet, but I think having a PigUserExamples page, with links to pages of specific examples, like yours, would be great. The PigUserExamples page could be linked off the main page.

As far as where to put your code, if it's something that could actually be used for pig scripts, it can go in contrib under piggybank (the user contributed UDFs). If it's really for tutorial purposes and not production worthy I'm not sure. We could add a tutorial section to contrib. I think the existing tutorial is a unit aimed at helping people get started, so we don't want to add to it.

howdy,

Just starting to dive into pig, and have had a hard time finding examples.  I 
would like to put up some examples (on the wiki?) of what I hope to be simple 
scripts that could help find the following on a per host / per day basis

hits
hits per canonized userAgent
average microseconds to serve per uri
hits per canonized search engine
hits per canonized search engine terms
bytes
hits per referer
hits per canonized referer host
etc

Has such a library already been started?

Some of the scripts will have to rely on some java helper code, which I would 
be happy to contribute, but where can I put it?  Perhaps in tutorial.jar?  
helper.jar?  Anyone have thoughts about such things on the wiki?

Thanks,
Earl
