[jira] Updated: (PIG-704) Interactive mode doesn't list defined aliases
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-704?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Eric Gaudet updated PIG-704: Attachment: aliases_last2.patch Here's a revised version of the patch that removes the alias _. Instead, the describe parameter is optional: if no alias is passed, it describes the last created alias. I didn't realize grunt had autocompletion. It would be nice to have autocompletion of the aliases where needed. However, this is a different feature that complements the ones described in this bug. I will create a different bug for it and submit a patch. Since both features are independant, feel free to accept or reject either or both. Interactive mode doesn't list defined aliases - Key: PIG-704 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-704 Project: Pig Issue Type: Improvement Components: grunt Reporter: Eric Gaudet Priority: Trivial Attachments: aliases_last.patch, aliases_last2.patch I'm using the interactive mode to test my scripts, and I'm struggling to keep track of 2 things: 1) the aliases. A typical test script has 10 aliases or more. As the test goes on, different versions are created, or aliases are created with typos. There's no command in grunt to get the list of defined aliases. Proposed solution: add a new command aliases that prints the list of aliases. 2) I prefer to give meaningful (long) names to my aliases. But as I try different things, I find it hard to predict what the schema will look like, so I use DESCRIBE a lot. It's a pain to type these long names all the time, especially since most of the time I only want to describe the last alias created. A shortcut to the describe command describing the last alias will be very useful. Proposed solution: use the special name _ as a shortcut to the last created alias: DECRIBE _. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-704?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Eric Gaudet updated PIG-704: Attachment: aliases_last.patch Add the following features: 1) new command aliases that prints the list of defined aliases. 2) allows the identifiers to start with _, and used the one-character string _ as a short cut for the last created alias in the the command describe. Notes: - _ was not added as the first character of an identifier to the query parser in this patch. - the _ shortcut was only implemented for describe, not for dump.
