Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-1405:
----------------------------------------

I think Top (TOP) is a common enough thing to do to put into builtin.

Regarding naming -- for readability I propose, LAST_INDEX_OF,  REGEX_EXTRACT 
and REGEX_EXTRACT_ALL

> Need to move many standard functions from piggybank into Pig

> There are currently a number of functions in Piggybank that represent 
> features commonly supported by languages and database engines.  We need to 
> decide which of these Pig should support as built in functions and put them 
> in org.apache.pig.builtin.  This will also mean adding unit tests and 
> javadocs for some UDFs.  The existing classes will be left in Piggybank for 
> some time for backward compatibility.
