Jonathan Coveney commented on PIG-2469:
---------------------------------------
A little out of scope for this ticket, but I think macros should also support
the shell/hdfs utilities.
> Support %define and %default in macros

> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Reporter: Bill Graham
>
> Make macros support {{%define}} and {{%default}} commands. For example, this
> should work:
> {noformat}
> $ cat sample.macro
> %default date '20120101'
> $ cat sample.pig
> import 'sample.macro';
> A = LOAD '/some/path/$date';
> dump A;
> {noformat}
