Jonathan Coveney commented on PIG-3089:
---------------------------------------
I like this idea, generally. Daniel and I had discussed something similar a
while back. Agree that we need to pin down the syntax.
What are we trying to fix? Is it extra keystrokes? Is it a proliferation of
useless relation names?
I think there are a couple of things we can make better. I think that Thejas's
idea is one of them...a syntax to refer to the previously defined relation
would be really cool. I think that should be another JIRA.
