Hi, I met a headache about using UDFs with many dependence, adding them using register command is very painful and not extensible. I can make self-contained jar for hadoop job using maven (a jar with a lib directory which contains all jars will be used for class look up), but it seems doesn't work for pig. pig just treat that jar as a regular jar and try to find classes directly inside it instead of inside those embedded jars. Is there a way to make pig do the hadoop way of looking into the self-contained big jar for class loading? Thanks!
