Julien Le Dem commented on PIG-928: ----------------------------------- Aniket, this is assuming the ScriptEngine requires only one jar. I would suggest instead having a method ScriptEngine.init(PigContext) that would be called after the ScriptEngine instance has been retrieved from the factory. That would let the script engine add whatever is needed to the job. {code} if(scriptingLang != null) { ScriptEngine se = ScriptEngine.getInstance(scriptingLang); //pigContext.scriptJars.add(se.getStandardScriptJarPath()); se.init(pigContext); se.registerFunctions(path, namespace, pigContext); } {code} Have a good week end, Julien > UDFs in scripting languages > --------------------------- > > Key: PIG-928 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-928 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Aniket Mokashi > Fix For: 0.8.0 > > Attachments: calltrace.png, package.zip, PIG-928.patch, > pig-greek.tgz, pig.scripting.patch.arnab, pyg.tgz, RegisterPythonUDF2.patch, > RegisterPythonUDF3.patch, RegisterPythonUDF4.patch, > RegisterPythonUDFFinale.patch, RegisterScriptUDFDefineParse.patch, > scripting.tgz, scripting.tgz, test.zip > > > It should be possible to write UDFs in scripting languages such as python, > ruby, etc. This frees users from needing to compile Java, generate a jar, > etc. It also opens Pig to programmers who prefer scripting languages over > Java. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
