> Restore support for parenthesis in Pig 0.9
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-2261
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2261
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: impl
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Reporter: Richard Ding
> Assignee: Richard Ding
> Fix For: 0.9.1
>
> Attachments: PIG-2261.patch
>
>
> Pig 0.8 and earlier versions used to support syntax such as
>
> {code}
> A =(load ....)
> {code}
> This was removed as "useless" in 0.9 when the grammar was redone. It turns
> out that some user is using this for ease of code generation so we want to
> restore it back.
> Just to clarify, Pig 0.9 continues to support composite statements such as
> {code}
> B = filter (load 'data' as (a, b)) by a > 0;
> {code}
> It just removed "useless" parenthesis and doesn't support statements like
> {code}
> A = (load 'data' as (a, b));
> {code}
