------------------------------------
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

> 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.
