Jonathan Packer created PIG-3359: ------------------------------------ Summary: Register Statements and Param Substitution in Macros Key: PIG-3359 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3359 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Components: parser Reporter: Jonathan Packer Assignee: Jonathan Packer
There are some gaps in the functionality of macros that I'll be making a patch to address. The goal is to provide everything you'd need to make reusable algorithms libraries. 1. You can't register udfs inside a macro 2. Paramater substitutions aren't done inside macros 3. Resources (including macros) should not be redundantly acquired if they are already present. Rohini's patch https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3204 should address problem 3 where Pig reparses everything every time it reads a line, but there still would be a problem if two separate files import the same macro / udf file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
