Ashutosh Chauhan commented on PIG-1427:
---------------------------------------
* Filed PIG-1428 for it.
* Neat workaround.
* I guess checking in lib/ is fine. They are using APL.
* Performance number looks good. Initially, lets not default for monitoring.
Later as we gain more experience with this feature we should on monitoring by
default so as not to waste cluster resources because of programming errors.

> As a safety measure, it is sometimes useful to monitor UDFs as they execute.
> It is often preferable to return null or some other default value instead of
> timing out a runaway evaluation and killing a job. We have in the past seen
> complex regular expressions lead to job failures due to just half a dozen
> (out of millions) particularly obnoxious strings.
> It would be great to give Pig users a lightweight way of enabling UDF
> monitoring.
