Vimuth commented on PIG-2597:
-----------------------------
Hi, Im a third year computer science student from the university of moratuwa.
Im interested in taking this on as my gsoc project. I've already checked out
the code and built it and taken a quick look at the grunt related code. I'm
currently following the tutorials provided in the gsoc getting started page
Is there any possible mentors for this project so that i can discuss how to
proceed further?
> Move grunt from javacc to ANTRL

> 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
