Richard Ding commented on PIG-1827: ----------------------------------- Looked into it a little more. Actually, embedded Pig just use parameter substitution to perform parameter binding and it doesn't support recursive substitution. So it should be ok to remove the requirement that $ in parameter be escaped. > When passing a parameter to Pig, if the value contains $ it has to be escaped > for no apparent reason > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1827 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1827 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Components: impl > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Julien Le Dem > Assignee: Richard Ding > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
