Need a way for Pig to take an alternative property file -------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1381 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1381 Project: Pig Issue Type: Improvement Components: impl Affects Versions: 0.7.0 Reporter: Daniel Dai Fix For: 0.8.0 Currently, Pig read the first ever pig.properties in CLASSPATH. Pig has a default pig.properties and if user have a different pig.properties, there will be a conflict since we can only read one. There are couple of ways to solve it: 1. Give a command line option for user to pass an additional property file 2. Change the name for default pig.properties to pig-default.properties, and user can give a pig.properties to override 3. Further, can we consider to use pig-default.xml/pig-site.xml, which seems to be more natural for hadoop community. If so, we shall provide backward compatibility to also read pig.properties, pig-cluster-hadoop-site.xml. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
