                 Key: PIG-1794
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1794
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: impl
    Affects Versions: 0.9.0
            Reporter: Julien Le Dem
             Fix For: 0.9.0


The attached patch proposes a javascript implementation for Pig embedding and 
UDFs in scripting languages.
It is similar to the Jython implementation and uses Rhino provided in the JDK.
some differences:
 - output schema is provided by: <functionName>.outSchema="<schema>" as 
javascript does not have annotations or decorators but functions are first 
class objects
 - tuples are converted to objects using the input schema (the other way around 
using the output schema)

The attached patch is not final yet. In particular it lacks unit tests.
See test/org/apache/pig/test/data/tc.js for the "transitive closure" example
