----------------------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-1577
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1577
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.6.0
            Reporter: Olga Natkovich
             Fix For: 0.9.0


In the current implementation, functionality that allows to map arguments to 
classes does not support functions with variable number of arguments. Also it 
does not support funtions that can have variable (but fixed in number) number 
of arguments. 

This causes problems for string UDFs such as CONCAT that can take an arbitrary 
number of arguments or TRIM that can take 1,2, or 3 arguments
