jython functions can use the @outputSchema decorator, but only if in the out 
script that is imported, we should add a builting module pigdecorators.py so 
that developers can import and use them in lib scripts

                 Key: PIG-1943
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1943
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: impl
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0, 0.9.0
            Reporter: Woody Anderson
            Assignee: Woody Anderson
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.9.0


if you have pig udf functions in a pig script, and want to re-use it (i.g. 
import from another script) the decorators must be defined. They will not be, 
due to scoping rules, so the decorators should be available via a standard 
importable module that ships with the jython framework (as we already define 
the decorators as part of initializing the interpreter).

this simply involves adding an appropriately named: pigdecorators.py to the 
classpath, so a dev can do:

{quote}
from pigdecorators import *
@outputSchema("w:chararray")
def word():
 return 'word'
{quote}

this can be done currently in the primary script, but when 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1824 is completed, that script would 
not properly import when used within another script in the future.
