Eli Finkelshteyn commented on PIG-2548: --------------------------------------- This is pretty awesome, but what can one do when wanting to use Python's getopt? Is there a pig substitute? When trying to do something like: {code} import getopt, sys # explicitly import Pig class from org.apache.pig.scripting import Pig print sys.argv[1:] options, remainder = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], 'o:i:', ['output=', 'verbose', 'input=', ]) options = dict(options) print options params = {'input' : options['--input'] or options['-i'] or '', 'output' : options['--output'] or options[-'o'] or ''} print params print Pig.fs("ls " input) {code} The getopt portion works fine when running through Python, but when running through pig, you wind up with: {code} [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.Main - ERROR 2999: Unexpected internal error. Encountered unexpected arguments on command line - please check the command line. {code} I'm thinking it would be quite nice to be able to pass named params to embedded pig, no? > Support for providing parameters to python script > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-2548 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2548 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.9.1, 0.10 > Reporter: Vivek Padmanabhan > Assignee: Daniel Dai > Fix For: 0.10, 0.11 > > Attachments: PIG-2548-1.patch > > > If I have an embedded pig script in python, there is no way to get user > passed parameters in the python script. > Though PIG-2165 adds the capability of reading these params in the pig > script, from python it is still not possible. > It would be nice to have this feature if I have some sort of post processing > happening in my python scrip based on the params. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
