Santhosh Srinivasan commented on PIG-158:
-----------------------------------------

For the "is null" operator proposed in the execution pipeline functional 
specification, there are a couple of options to implement the syntax:

1. SQL like syntax

{code}
A = load 'input1';
B = Filter A by $0 is null;
C = Filter A by $1 is not null;
{code}

2. Procedural language like syntax

{code}
A = load 'input1';
B = Filter A by IsNull($0);
C = Filter A by IsNotNull($1);
{code}

I am leaning towards the SQL like syntax. Wanted to hear from folks on their 
preferences and why.
