Ashutosh Chauhan commented on PIG-928: -------------------------------------- Addendum: * Also what will happen if user returned a nil python object (null equivalent of Java) from UDF. It looks to me that will result in NPE. Can you add a test for that and similar test case from pigToPython() > UDFs in scripting languages > --------------------------- > > Key: PIG-928 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-928 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Aniket Mokashi > Fix For: 0.8.0 > > Attachments: calltrace.png, package.zip, PIG-928.patch, > pig-greek.tgz, pig.scripting.patch.arnab, pyg.tgz, RegisterPythonUDF3.patch, > RegisterPythonUDF4.patch, RegisterPythonUDF_Final.patch, > RegisterPythonUDFFinale.patch, RegisterPythonUDFFinale3.patch, > RegisterPythonUDFFinale4.patch, RegisterPythonUDFFinale5.patch, > RegisterPythonUDFLatest.patch, RegisterScriptUDFDefineParse.patch, > scripting.tgz, scripting.tgz, test.zip > > > It should be possible to write UDFs in scripting languages such as python, > ruby, etc. This frees users from needing to compile Java, generate a jar, > etc. It also opens Pig to programmers who prefer scripting languages over > Java. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
