Dmitriy V. Ryaboy updated PIG-1248:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: PIG_1248.diff

This patch cleans up some of the existing string functions and adds new ones.
The existing functions are modified to favor returning null instead of throwing 
exceptions (and thus breaking the whole job).
SUBSTRING is modified to not fail when the input string is shorter than 
offset+desired width, as per discussion on the user list.

New functions are added:

LcFirst
UcFirst
LENGTH
Reverse
Split
RegexExtractAll
