> There are many bugs in Pig related to the parser, particularly to bad error
> messages. After review of Java CC we feel these will be difficult to address
> using that tool. Also, the .jjt files used by JavaCC are hard to understand
> and maintain.
> ANTLR is being reviewed as the most likely choice to move to, but other
> parsers will be reviewed as well.
> This JIRA will act as an umbrella issue for other parser issues.
