Jeff Wartes commented on PIG-2122:
----------------------------------
I found this JIRA issue because:
1) I was copying a script into the shell for testing and was confused why it
was wasn't working.
2) Reading the documentation and attempting alternative methods to set
parameters didn't work either.
I mention this because I hit *both* of cases previously presented as reasons to
fix this issue. The second, because of the first.
If this issue cannot be fixed, I'd suggest the grunt shell throw a more helpful
error when it encounters preprocessor directives, and warn when it sees likely
attempts at dollar-sign interpolation.
