Joey Echeverria commented on PIG-2456:
--------------------------------------
The idea is to add a new file that contains pig statements that are always
executed. This is more akin to the .hiverc in Hive
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1414) than the pig.properties or
.pigrc files that already exists. My use case would be to pre-define a bunch of
UDFs:
REGISTER /usr/lib/pig/contrib/piggybank/java/piggybank.jar;
DEFINE SequenceFileLoader org.apache.pig.piggybank.storage.SequenceFileLoader();
...
I could also see it being useful to put in common LOAD statements so that you
can just start working with the data from grunt.
I tried setting the file variable in .pigrc and pig.properties, but it didn't
seem to cause the file to be loaded.
This is somewhat related to macros where I want a default file that is always
imported.
