    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2536?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13456450#comment-13456450 ] 

Gianmarco De Francisci Morales commented on PIG-2536:
-----------------------------------------------------

I guess we can commit this, can't we?

Should we also think about extending this syntax to wherever else it makes sense in Pig Latin?

> Currently, pig does not allow this syntax:
> {code}
> A = load 'thing' (x:int, y:int, z:int);
> B = distinct A.x;
> C = distinct A.(y,z)
> D = distinct C.$0;
> {code}
> and so on. With this patch, it does. I should probably add more tests, though it's a simple patch... it just turns distinct rel.proj into syntactic sugar for distinct (foreach rel generate proj)
