Stefan Groschupf commented on PIG-115:
--------------------------------------
Here are my thoughts:
The start script should be as less intelligent as possible, Pigs Main class
already handles parameters, so we basically only need to expose that.
The old perl script reads in a kind of configuration file and than construct
the parameter that are used to call the Main.
I suggest instead - as hadoop - that pig has a conf folder and a default
configuration file. Those values are used as default values for all the
properties.
However a user can overwrite this values by using command line arguments.
I'm happy to provide a patch based on the result of our discuss here.
