Daniel Dai updated PIG-2597:
----------------------------

    Description: 
Currently, the parser for queries is in ANTLR, but Grunt is still javacc. The 
parser is very difficult to work with, and next to impossible to understand or 
modify. ANTLR provides a much cleaner, more standard way to generate 
parsers/lexers/ASTs/etc, and moving from javacc to Grunt would be huge as we 
continue to add features to Pig.

This is a candidate project for Google summer of code 2014. More information 
about the program can be found at 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PIG/GSoc2014
