Jim Donofrio reopened PIG-3563: ------------------------------- That works but it is not a very clean solution. UDF's should be able to add archives to the distributed cache as they do currently with files. Your solution forces users of a UDF's to have to know to add the archive explicitly to use the UDF instead of letting the UDF handle it for them > support adding archives to the distributed cache > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: PIG-3563 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3563 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jim Donofrio > Priority: Minor > Labels: distributed_cache > > Support adding archives to the distributed cache by calling > DistributedCacheFile.addCacheArchive instead of addCacheFile in > JobControlCompiler.setupDistributedCache for common archive endings: .zip, > .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar which are the extensions checked in downloadCacheObject > in org.apache.hadoop.filecache.TrackerDistributedCacheManager -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
