Rohini Palaniswamy commented on PIG-4517:
-----------------------------------------
bq. Isn't this very similar to the BagToString UDF?
Thanks Carlos for pointing it out. Would recommend naming the UDF in this
jira as TupleToString for consistency.
> builtin UDF for mass concat of strings

> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: piggybank
> Reporter: Pracheer Agarwal
> Priority: Minor
>
> Right now we have CONCAT UDF which concatenate two strings. We don't have any
> UDF for mass concatenation. The functionality of the proposed udf can be
> exact reverse of STRSPLIT.
> STRSPLIT take a string and a regex and return a tuple of strings. On the same
> line MASSCONCAT can take a tuple and a delimeter as inputs and return a
> string as output.
> Example:
> Inputs - (a,b,c,d), "|"
> Output - a|b|c|d
