Russell Jurney commented on PIG-2506: ------------------------------------- I think we only want to ensure that lowercase works for built-ins and keywords, so that you can use all lowercase Pig except for UDFs, etc. For many users, syntax highlighting negates the need for alternating CAPS/lower as in SQL. So, like COUNT_STAR() -> count_star(), etc. Hope this isn't too difficult to fix, but it is a sore spot in the language. > Change LOWER and UPPER buitins so they respond to the lowercase forms 'lower' > and 'upper' > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-2506 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2506 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: internal-udfs > Affects Versions: 0.9.1 > Reporter: Russell Jurney > Labels: simple > > These builtins should respond to lowercase form as well. I am tired of > writing ugly upper case Pig. My friends make fun of me. My partner says I > write code just like my Dad's SQL. Cascading fans make fun of my upper case > L's and P's. I just don't want to write uppercase Pig anymore. I just can't > do it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
