Though I'm tempted to say the O'Reilly book is always right, the
official stance on this is the one in the pig documentation on the website.

Q: When using the REGISTER statement to register .jar files containing
UDFs, should the jar file name be in quotes or not?
The O'Reilly book Programming Pig consistently uses single quotes around
.jar path names with the REGISTER command.
The documentation for 0.14.0 (and 0.7.0) says:
Do not place the name in quotes.
In my testing, it works either with or without the .jar path in quotes.
Q: Is there an "official" stance on this?
