Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-2506:
----------------------------------------
Right, I figured you just want completely case-insensitive matching. But I
don't know how that could be achieved.
I suppose we could rename the existing ALLCAPS udfs into their normal Java
forms, and have a special-case map that maps the shouting versions to actual
classes (this wouldn't work for things that aren't built into Pig, of course,
since we wouldn't be able to do that translation for classes we don't know
about).
