Akshay Rai created PIG-4417: ------------------------------- 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
