Russell Jurney commented on PIG-2506:
-------------------------------------
I think we only want to ensure that lowercase works for built-ins and keywords,
so that you can use all lowercase Pig except for UDFs, etc. For many users,
syntax highlighting negates the need for alternating CAPS/lower as in SQL. So,
like COUNT_STAR() -> count_star(), etc.
Hope this isn't too difficult to fix, but it is a sore spot in the language.

> These builtins should respond to lowercase form as well. I am tired of

> L's and P's. I just don't want to write uppercase Pig anymore. I just can't
