Olga Natkovich resolved PIG-393.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
for backward compatibility
> notations for data bag and data map are confusing
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-393
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-393
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Rong-En Fan
> Priority: Minor
>
> In Pig document, we use {} for data bag and [] for data map. While data bag
> is more like a collection (a list of other data) and data map is like a hash,
> their corresponding notation in other language like python (and hash in
> perl), is actually the other way around. In Python, they use [] for list and
> {} for map (dictionary). In perl, they use {} for hash, too. The notations in
> Pig is very confusing for developers who are familiar with Python/perl.
