Craig Macdonald updated PIG-112:
--------------------------------
Description:
Motivation: Why should a user have to supply the fully qualified name to his
user defined function, if all the functions he ever uses are in a pre-defined
list of packages?
Currently PigContext has a list of Java packages that are searched for
functions. Currently the list consists of the following
packages:
* org.apache.pig.builtin.
* org.apache.pig.impl.builtin.
* com.yahoo.pig.yst.sds.ULT.
Users should be able to add to this packagelist.
Example in Grunt:
{noformat}
include com.pig.function.package.
{noformat}
This has connections to imports in Java classes, namespaces in XQuery, and the
PATH env var in shell scripting.
Should be trivial to implement, or could be a property.
