RE: passing hadoop params to pig-0.3.1

[Pradeep Kamath]

I haven't seen the pig.sh script, but I believe passing it on the java
cmdline which launches pig (java -Dmapred.task.timeout=0 <rest of
cmdline for pig>) should have the effect of passing the property to the
JobConf for all hadoop jobs launched by the pig script.

You can set the PIG_OPTS environment variable, everything in it will
be passed to the pig executable. I am not confident that it will
necessarily have an effect on the hadoop jobs, since iirc that
requires Pig to explicitly pass the opts on to hadoop.
