Prasen Mukherjee commented on PIG-928: -------------------------------------- Just curious to know, can we not implement it along the lines of DEFINE commands. In that case we will let the shell take care of scripting issues, and no need to include scripting-specific jars ( jython etc. ). That might require code changes in core-pig and cant be implemented as a separate UDF-package though. > UDFs in scripting languages > --------------------------- > > Key: PIG-928 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-928 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Alan Gates > Attachments: package.zip, scripting.tgz, scripting.tgz > > > It should be possible to write UDFs in scripting languages such as python, > ruby, etc. This frees users from needing to compile Java, generate a jar, > etc. It also opens Pig to programmers who prefer scripting languages over > Java. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
