Olga Natkovich updated PIG-1623:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.10)
> Register syntax is ambiguous
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-1623
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1623
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Reporter: Alan Gates
> Assignee: Xuefu Zhang
> Priority: Minor
>
> All of the following register statements parse
> {code}
> register
> /Users/gates/tmp/pig-0.7/pig-0.7.0/./contrib/piggybank/java/piggybank.jar
> register
> '/Users/gates/tmp/pig-0.7/pig-0.7.0/./contrib/piggybank/java/piggybank.jar'
> register
> '/Users/gates/tmp/pig-0.7/pig-0.7.0/./contrib/piggybank/java/piggybank.jar';
> {code}
> As far as I know register is the only Pig Latin command that does not require
> a semicolon at the end. It is also the only command that allows unquoted
> strings for file paths. We should align this with other similar syntax in
> Pig Latin.
> I order to avoid breaking existing scripts we may need to warn about this
> behavior for a while before no longer supporting it.
