Sai Sree Kavya Nanduri commented on PIG-4517:
---------------------------------------------
I do think that this UDF will be useful. Adding to [~Carlos Balduz] example, if
I want to concatenate strings with different delimiters each time, this kind of
UDF will be very useful.
Ex: CONCAT_MULTIPLE(field1, '-', field2,',',field3)
> builtin UDF for mass concat of strings

> Key: PIG-4517
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4517
> 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
