Kyungho Jeon updated PIG-2597:
------------------------------
Summary: Move grunt from javacc to ANTLR (was: Move grunt from javacc to
ANTRL)
> Move grunt from javacc to ANTLR
> -------------------------------

> Key: PIG-2597
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2597
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement

>
> Currently, the parser for queries is in ANTLR, but Grunt is still javacc. The
> parser is very difficult to work with, and next to impossible to understand
> or modify. ANTLR provides a much cleaner, more standard way to generate
> parsers/lexers/ASTs/etc, and moving from javacc to Grunt would be huge as we
> continue to add features to Pig.
> This is a candidate project for Google summer of code 2014. More information
> about the program can be found at
