Thejas M Nair commented on PIG-4160: ------------------------------------ I think it would be useful to retain mention of the old additional.jars parameter in the web docs, Saying that it is similar to .jars.comma but separated by the OS path charactor and does not allow for scheme to be specified (and that the use of jars.comma is preferred) > -forcelocaljars / -j flag when using a remote url for a script > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-4160 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4160 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: impl > Affects Versions: 0.14.0 > Reporter: Andrew C.
