             Summary: Allow Pig to use default resources from Configuration 
objects
                 Key: PIG-3441
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3441
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: impl
    Affects Versions: 0.11.1
            Reporter: Bhooshan Mogal


Pig currently ignores parameters from configuration files added statically to 
Configuration objects as Configuration.addDefaultResource(filename.xml).

Consider the following scenario -
In a hadoop FileSystem driver for a non-HDFS filesystem you load properties 
specific to that FileSystem in a static initializer block in the class that 
extends org.apache.hadoop.fs.Filesystem for your FileSystem like below - 
{code}

class MyFileSystem extends FileSystem {

        static {
                Configuration.addDefaultResource("myfs-default.xml");
                Configuration.addDefaultResource("myfs-site.xml");
        }


}
{code}

Interfaces like the Hadoop CLI, Hive, Hadoop M/R can find configuration 
parameters defined in these configuration files as long as they are on the 
classpath.

However, Pig cannot find parameters from these files, because it ignores 
configuration files added statically.

Pig should allow users to specify if they would like pig to read parameters 
from resources loaded statically.
