Jonathan Coveney commented on PIG-2962:
---------------------------------------
Err, I meant "can't you currently register" and now that I think of it I don't
think you can either. Doesn't pig have an "include" that just straight up
includes the file?

> Key: PIG-2962
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2962
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.11
> Reporter: Russell Jurney
> Assignee: Daniel Dai
> Priority: Minor
>
> Example. This is how you use the AvroStorage UDF in Piggybank:
> register /me/pig/contrib/piggybank/java/piggybank.jar
> register /me/pig/build/ivy/lib/Pig/avro-1.5.3.jar
> register /me/pig/build/ivy/lib/Pig/json-simple-1.1.jar
> define AvroStorage org.apache.pig.piggybank.storage.avro.AvroStorage();
> emails = load '/enron/emails.avro' using AvroStorage();
> That is 5 lines. This should be 2 lines:
> import 'avro.macro'
> emails = load '/enron/emails.avro' using AvroStorage();
