Ratandeep Ratti commented on PIG-4417:
--------------------------------------
The current approach for finding the ivysettings.xml from the classpath will
not work as expected if the ivysettings.xml file resides inside a jar.
{code}
if (confFile == null || !confFile.exists()) {
ClassLoader classLoader =
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
if (classLoader.getResource(IVY_FILE_NAME) != null) {
confFile = new
File(classLoader.getResource(IVY_FILE_NAME).getFile());
}
}
{code}
Here if the IVY_FILE_NAME resolves to a resource inside a jar
{code}confFile.exists(){code} will always return false . File API does not
understand files bundled inside a jar.
> 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.
