grunt should show full exception stack
--------------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-98
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-98
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: grunt
            Reporter: Stefan Groschupf
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.1.0


I suggest grunt should be more helpful with user errors. I just did one (a 
stupid one) and it took my too long to figure out the problem, since grunts 
error message was just not giving me a good hint:
grunt> A = LOAD '/pigtestData.tsv' USING PigStorage(',') AS (user,age,cat);
grunt> B = FILTER A BY cat == 'book';
grunt> dump B;
For input string: "book"
Experts will see that I tried to use == instead of eq, however especially new 
users could get a little confused. 
I see two chances add Error Number and  descriptive texts (Oracle style) - this 
quite a lot of work, or for now I suggest to simply dump the full exception 
text.

At least for this early stage it would developers and users to find problems 
faster.
