Piggbank not in Maven repositories

[Clément MATHIEU]

Hi all,

Is there any reason why the Piggybank JAR is not available on Maven 
repositories ? I dug both Maven Central and the Cloudera repo and have 
not been able to find it.


I believe that it would be useful to publish this artifact. It enables 
users to easily package whichever version they want using standard tools 
like ivy/maven/gradle. Even if the pig and piggybank version match, 
having a piggybacked piggybank allows to avoid having to specify 
hard-coded path in Pig scripts (at the expense of runtime overhead).

What do you think ? Is it conceivable to upload the JARs of already 
released versions ?
