Thejas M Nair commented on PIG-2511:
------------------------------------
bq. I think this would be totally confusing, especially when we consider script
maintenance, not just script writing.
Yes, I do worry that pig queries will become like many perl programs that I
have seen!
I don't find it very confusing to use "anything that doesn't have a name
conflict" as the meaning of @. I think the script should be maintainable as
long as you refer to columns by the names and not position. Specifying what not
to project is also fine, it is just a few extra keystrokes.
But I value the opinions of Dmitriy and Russel more than mine as they have more
experience actually writing pig queries and maintaining them!
