Re: Using external jar in UDF

[Tamir Kamara]

Hi Jeff,

You are right - I want to use another jar in my own udf.
Packaging both into a single jar is certainly an option but I was hoping pig
would be able to do something similar to regular map-reduce where I push the
jar before hand to the DFS and then add it to the class path via the
distributed cache.

Thanks,
Tamir
