Sugar for Pig

by azaroth for Apache Software Foundation

Syntactic sugar features to simplify the use of Pig. -- Variable argument for SAMPLE and LIMIT. Currently, SAMPLE and LIMIT only take a constant argument. It would be better to be able to use a variable (scalar) in the place of a constant. -- Default SPLIT destination. SPLIT partitions a relation into two or more relations. It would be useful to have a default destination for tuples that are not assigned to any other relation, in a fashion similar to a switch/case/default statement.
