Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-1563:
-------------------------------------
I was able to make it successfully working (without wrapping) for the functions
that have fixed number of arguments:
LAST_INDEX_OF
REPLACE
TRIM
I don't believe there is currently a way to make it work with variable number
of args (even if the number of combinations is fixed.) Moreover, if we add the
mapping table in this case, it breaks the case of typed data which is bad. This
is the case with the remaining functions - INDEXOF and SPLIT.
So my suggestion is only to fix the first set of function and delay the rest to
0.9 when we fix the mapping code.
Dmitry and others, are you ok with this? If so, I can update the patch to
reflect this.
