Cheolsoo Park commented on PIG-3136:
------------------------------------
[~jcoveney], I like your idea a lot. Thank you very much!
I tested your patch with store, dump, explain, describe and illustrate, and
here is the result:
||Command||Works||Remarks||
|store|(+)| |
|dump|(+)| |
|explain|(-)|Shows plans, then throws an error|
|describe|(-)| |
|illustrate|(-)|Shows tables, then throws an error|
Does it make sense to support all these commands?
> Introduce a syntax making declared aliases optional

> 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.
