Alan Gates commented on PIG-572:
--------------------------------

The code in the patch looks fine.  I have a couple of questions:

# What's the use case driving this?  If a user has their pig script in a file why do we expect them to be using PigServer directly instead of grunt?
# Why does the logical plan need to be serializable?

> A PigServer.registerScript() method, which lets a client programmatically register a Pig Script.
> For example, say theres a script my_script.pig with the following content:
> a = load '/data/my_data.txt';
> b = filter a by $0 > '0';
> The function lets you use something like the following:
> pigServer.registerScript("my_script.pig");
> pigServer.registerQuery("c = foreach b generate $2, $3;");
> pigServer.store("c");
