Thejas M Nair commented on PIG-1926:
------------------------------------
bq. Is there a consistent formatting template for Pig in order to make the
patch more readable? (half of the modified lines are from the code formatter).
Officially, pig is supposed to follow the Oracle/Sun coding conventions -
http://wiki.apache.org/pig/HowToContribute. But in that large list, only things
like use of 4 tabs for indentation and limiting length of a line to around 80
chars is what is almost always followed.
Can you please try to disable auto-formatting and format only the sections of
code that you are changing (cmd-i in eclipse on mac)? Otherwise, it is
difficult to distinguish between a real change and formatting change.

> Currently, Limit, Sample only takes a constant. It would be better we can use
> a scalar in the place of constant. Eg:
> {code}
> a = load 'a.txt';
> b = group a all;
> c = foreach b generate COUNT(a) as sum;
> d = order a by $0;
> e = limit d c.sum/100;
> {code}
> This is a candidate project for Google summer of code 2011. More information
> about the program can be found at http://wiki.apache.org/pig/GSoc2011
