David Ciemiewicz commented on PIG-282:
--------------------------------------
How will the custom partitioner be used in Pig?
Is this for map partitioning and/or output partitioning?
For instance, I'd love to have something that created separate directories
based on the value of some key.

> Key: PIG-282
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-282
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Amir Youssefi
> Priority: Minor
>
> By adding custom partitioner we can give control over which output partition
> a key (/value) goes to. We can add keywords to language e.g.
> PARTITION BY UDF(...)
> or a similar syntax. UDF returns a number between 0 and n-1 where n is number
> of output partitions.
