Cheolsoo Park commented on PIG-2994: ------------------------------------ Hi Prasanth, Sorry for the delay. I will review it today. In the meantime, do you mind updating docs? I think we can add a table of shortcuts to this section: http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.10.0/start.html#interactive-mode. What do you think? > Grunt shortcuts > --------------- > > Key: PIG-2994 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2994 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: grunt > Reporter: Prasanth J > Assignee: Prasanth J > Priority: Minor > Attachments: PIG-2994.1.git.patch > > > This feature is aimed at providing shortcuts for frequently used commands > like illustrate, dump, explain, describe, quit, help etc. This feature is > inspired from postgres(psql) shortcuts. I tried implementing a simple > shortcut for quitting the grunt shell using \q with very minimal changes. I > think this feature will help save many keystrokes for users. If this feature > looks useful I can submit the current patch for review and go ahead with > implementing the following shortcuts > \i <alias> - illustrate > \e <alias> - explain > \de <alias> - describe > \du <alias> - dump > \h - help > This will also be useful to view information about tables/statistics stored > in HCatalog similar to the way psql does. > \dt <alias> - display table > \dm - display metadata > etc.. > except \t, \r and \n delimiters we should be able to use all other characters > as shortcuts. > Please let me know your thoughts. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
