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

             Summary: Pig's register command should support automatic fetching 
of jars from repo.
                 Key: PIG-4417
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4417
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Akshay Rai


Currently Pig's register command takes a local path to a dependency jar . 
This clutters the local file-system as users may forget to remove this jar 
later.
It would be nice if Pig supported a Gradle like notation to download the jar 
from a repository.
Ex: At the top of the Pig script a user could add
register '<group>:<module>:<version>'; 
It should be backward compatible and should support a local file path if so 
desired.
