Jonathan Coveney commented on PIG-2469:
---------------------------------------

A little out of scope for this ticket, but I think macros should also support the shell/hdfs utilities.

> Make macros support {{%define}} and {{%default}} commands. For example, this should work:
> {noformat}
> $ cat sample.macro 
> %default date '20120101'
> $ cat sample.pig
> import 'sample.macro';
> A = LOAD '/some/path/$date';
> dump A;
> {noformat}
