notations for data bag and data map are confusing
-------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-393
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-393
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Rong-En Fan
Priority: Minor
In Pig document, we use {} for data bag and [] for data map. While data bag is
more like a collection (a list of other data) and data map is like a hash,
their corresponding notation in other language like python (and hash in perl),
is actually the other way around. In Python, they use [] for list and {} for
map (dictionary). In perl, they use {} for hash, too. The notations in Pig is
very confusing for developers who are familiar with Python/perl.
