Pradeep Kamath commented on PIG-326:
------------------------------------

Running pig in the following way should allow users to supplied a new 
pig.properties:

{noformat}
If not using HOD:
java -cp <directory containing custom pig.properties>:<fullpath to 
pig.jar>:<directory containing hadoop-site.xml> -Dhod.server="" 
org.apache.pig.Main <pigscript file>

If using HOD:
java -cp <directory containing custom pig.properties>:<fullpath to pig.jar> 
org.apache.pig.Main <pigscript file>

{noformat}

Couple of points:
1) The custom pig.properties file should be name "pig.properties"
2) The classpath specified above should have the directory containing 
pig.properties as the first element

> Read properties file from classpath

> Some users need to change properties file frequently. Looking for 
> pig.properties in classpath and merging that with existing one in pig.jar 
> (giving it precedence to one in classpath) will be helpful.
