I agree with Jon. We do it with the distributed cache. The GeoIP files that we use are updated monthly. So it makes more sense to put it in the cache than recompile Pig monthly.

The UDF that uses it can just add it to the distributed cache (should be in 9 and 10, I can check if you like). If you want to include it with pig, then you have to include it in the Pig jar, and then you can call it from the Pig script. It's a little tricky but doable. A bit of a hack. 2012/8/28 Haitao Yao <[email protected]> > hi, all > I want to add GeoIP.dat to my pig scripts. Does Pig have the > "add file XXX" command like hive?
