Ratandeep Ratti commented on PIG-4417:
--------------------------------------
I think we should refrain from configuring the location of ivy settings file.
It is better to always pick it from PIG_CONF_DIR/ivysettings.xml. In this way,
users will not have a backdoor entry to provide their own ivy settings.
Having a standard location will help make sure that resources /dependencies are
only being downloaded from configured repositories (For instance admins may
want to configure the ivy settings so that no resources are downloaded from
external repos and only make use of internal repositories.
> Pig's register command should support automatic fetching of jars from repo.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Akshay Rai
>
> Currently Pig's register command takes a local path to a dependency jar .
> This clutters the local file-system as users may forget to remove this jar
> later.
> It would be nice if Pig supported a Gradle like notation to download the jar
> from a repository.
> Ex: At the top of the Pig script a user could add
> register '<group>:<module>:<version>';
> It should be backward compatible and should support a local file path if so
> desired.
