Xuefu Zhang updated PIG-1618: ----------------------------- Attachment: antlr-3.2.jar NewParser-1.patch First patch to address the issue. With this patch, the generated parse can parse pig script and generate a flat AST. The patch contains antlr lib, but the lib may not be applied when it's patched. (for me, it didn't.) In that case, so the attached lib, antlr-3.2.jar can be put under pig lib directory. > Switch to new parser generator technology > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1618 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1618 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Xuefu Zhang > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > Attachments: antlr-3.2.jar, NewParser-1.patch > > > There are many bugs in Pig related to the parser, particularly to bad error > messages. After review of Java CC we feel these will be difficult to address > using that tool. Also, the .jjt files used by JavaCC are hard to understand > and maintain. > ANTLR is being reviewed as the most likely choice to move to, but other > parsers will be reviewed as well. > This JIRA will act as an umbrella issue for other parser issues. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
