             Summary: pig alias overrides work only if there is a space character following the alias
                 Key: PIG-3718
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3718
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 0.11.1
            Reporter: Ido Hadanny
            Priority: Minor


when specifying an aliasOverride in registerScript, pig does not replace the override unless there's a space character after it. 

GruntParser:77 =
      if (query.toLowerCase().startsWith(alias.getKey().toLowerCase() + " ")) {

This makes it impossible to make cool uses of this feature, such as removing custom calls to macros. E.g. if I have a macro called store_only_in_debug_mode, and I want to override it and ignore it in production, it would have been nice if I could just add "store_only_in_debug_mode" to my override list. Currently, this will only work if the script has a space char after the macro call. E.g. 

store_only_in_debug_mode (my_alias);    <--- works

store_only_in_debug_mode(my_alias);    <--- doesn't work, sad
