Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-1354: ---------------------------------------- Olga, There is a follow-up ticket here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1551 If that gets committed, I have a pretty detailed explanation of how to use the stuff in http://squarecog.wordpress.com/2010/08/20/upcoming-features-in-pig-0-8-dynamic-invokers/ (happy to put the link in release notes, or just paste the whole post). > UDFs for dynamic invocation of simple Java methods > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1354 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1354 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Dmitriy V. Ryaboy > Assignee: Dmitriy V. Ryaboy > Fix For: 0.8.0 > > Attachments: PIG-1354.patch, PIG-1354.patch, PIG-1354.patch > > > The need to create wrapper UDFs for simple Java functions creates unnecessary > work for Pig users, slows down the development process, and produces a lot of > trivial classes. We can use Java's reflection to allow invoking a number of > methods on the fly, dynamically, by creating a generic UDF to accomplish this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
