Alan Gates commented on PIG-4417:
---------------------------------
A couple of comments:
# Review board is great for reviewing the patch, but to be official it has to
be attached here too.
# Why is the DownloadResolver all static? Why not make it an object with a
single method? This is just a style gripe and not a blocker for checking in
the code.
> Pig's register command should support automatic fetching of jars from repo.

> Reporter: Akshay Rai
> Assignee: 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.
