> We've got a few abstract extensions of EvalFunc that make life easier. If
> people are interested we can push said classes into Pig.
> There are 3 classes, each extending the next. Class naming is all TBD.
> * {{TypedOutputEvalFunc<OUT>}} - Implements {{public Schema
> outputSchema(Schema input)}} based on the generic type of the subclass.
> Provides common helper validation functions which increment counters for good
> and bad Tuple data passed. Useful where the input to be worked on is a tuple
> of size N or greater.
> * {{PrimitiveEvalFunc<IN, OUT>}} - Same as above with helper validation
> allowing the ability it subclass and just implement {{public OUT exec(IN
> input)}}, where IN and OUT are primitives. Useful when the input is a single
> primitive in position 0 of a tuple.
> * {{FunctionWrapperEvalFunc}} - Wraps a Guava Function implementation
> (http://guava-libraries.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javadoc/com/google/common/base/Function.html)
> and allows UDFs to be used in Pig scripts like so, where {{MyFunction}} is a
> class that implements {{Function}}:
> {noformat}
> DEFINE myUdf org.apache.pig.FunctionWrapperEvalFunc('MyFunction')
> {noformat}
