Hi Rekhi,

I did not quite get this.
I know how to pass a param name and value from command line to pig
scripts and access them. But how do we pass the param name from pig
script to UDF? What will the syntax of the STORE function look like?

pig command: ... -param CONFIG_FILE='<your_path_here>'..
STORE A in 'somefile' USING MyStorageUDF(CONFIG_FILE);
Thanks,
Satish
