-------------------------------------
I think we accepted
{code}
DEFINE hellopig org.apache.pig.scripting.jython.JythonFunction('def
helloworld():\n\treturn (\'Hello, World\')', 'x:{t:(word:chararray)}');
{code}
as a solution. It needs to have \t \ns in order to make python happy. It would
be nice to have a better syntax.
> Allow in line scripting UDF definitions

> For small udfs in scripting languages, it may be cumbersome to force users to
> make a script, put it on the classpath, ship it, etc. It would be great to
> support a syntax that allows people to declare UDFs in line (essentially, to
> define a snippet of code that will be interpreted as a scriptlet)
