Jonathan Coveney created PIG-3136:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Introduce a syntax making declared aliases optional
Key: PIG-3136
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3136
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jonathan Coveney
Assignee: Jonathan Coveney
Fix For: 0.12
This is something Daniel and I have talked about before, and now that we have
the @ syntax, this is easy to implement. The idea is that relation names are no
longer required, and you can instead use a fat arrow (obviously that can be
changed) to signify this. The benefit is not having to engage in the mental
load of having to name everything.
One other possibility is just making "alias =" optional. I fear that that could
be a little TOO magical, but I welcome opinions.
