Daniel Dai commented on PIG-4417:
---------------------------------
Ok, I am fine to add this. Several minor comments:
1. Config ARTIFACT_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION should be through pig.properties rather
than environment variable as Pig convention (using
pigServer.getPigContext().getProperties() to retrieve)
2. If ivysettings.xml is required, wrap it into pig-core.jar. Otherwise, if
user don't install pig distribution, they will not get it
3. Need to add ivy.jar and groovy.jar into pig-template.xml
4. Better to add a couple of e2e tests (I can help if you need)
> Pig's register command should support automatic fetching of jars from repo.

>
> Currently Pig's register command takes a local path to a dependency jar .
> This clutters the local file-system as users may forget to remove this jar
> later.
> It would be nice if Pig supported a Gradle like notation to download the jar
> from a repository.
> Ex: At the top of the Pig script a user could add
> register '<group>:<module>:<version>';
> It should be backward compatible and should support a local file path if so
> desired.
