------------------------------------

[~jpacker], I have one question for you.
{quote}
I moved some methods from PigServer to PigContext, which QPD has an instance of.
{quote}
Why can't you construct a PigServer instance w/ PigContext inside QPD instead 
of moving those methods? That seems like a pattern being used at several 
places. For example,
{code:title=GroovyScriptEngine.java}
    PigServer pigServer = new PigServer(context, false);
    String groovyJar = getJarPath(groovy.util.GroovyScriptEngine.class);
    if (null != groovyJar) {
        pigServer.registerJar(groovyJar);
    }
{code}
To me, "pigServer.registerCode()" reads better than 
"pigContext.registerCode()", so I prefer to not moving them to PigContext. What 
do you think? Please feel free to disagree with me.

> There are some gaps in the functionality of macros that I've made a patch to 
> address. The goal is to provide everything you'd need to make reusable 
> algorithms libraries.
> 1. You can't register udfs inside a macro
> 2. Paramater substitutions aren't done inside macros
> 3. Resources (including macros) should not be redundantly acquired if they 
> are already present.
> Rohini's patch https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3204 should address 
> problem 3 where Pig reparses everything every time it reads a line, but there 
> still would be a problem if two separate files import the same macro / udf 
> file.
> To get this working, I moved methods for registering jars/udfs and param 
> substitution from PigServer to PigContext so they can be accessed in 
> QueryParserDriver which processes macros (QPD was already passed a PigContext 
> reference). Is that ok?
