Re: Using external jar in UDF

[Alan Gates]

The UDF interface does not currently include the ability for a UDF to  
indicate additional jars it would like to have packaged and sent along.

Hi,

Register is working fine but it means that the user needs to know  
when it's
needed to register the additional jar. What about my question  
regarding the
M/R way of doing this ?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a function (eval) that needs to use an external jar.
In M/R world this can be accomplished by uploading the jar to the  
dfs and
using DistributedCache.addFileToClassPath.
How do I do the same (have the jar available for the udf) in pig?

Thanks,
Tamir
