Olga Natkovich updated PIG-1789:
--------------------------------
We actually need to document 2 things - both going into the Getting Started section (somewhere around Running Pig)
The first one is command line options. Corinne, you can get this information just by running pig - help
The second is passing properties to Pig which I will post in a separate comment

[jira] [Updated] (PIG-1789) document pig properties

Olga Natkovich updated PIG-1789:
--------------------------------
Additional information regarding properties:
Pig supports a number of java properties to help customize its behavior. None of the properties a required. For the list of supported properties you can run pig -help properties.
Pig supports several mechanism to specify properties:
- via -D option on the command line (pig -Dpig.tmpfilecompression=true)
- by supplying pig.properties on the classpath (Put the directory that contains pig.properties file into the claspath)
- by providing properties file via -P command line option (pig -P mypig.properties)
Note that properties file uses standard Java property file format. The following precedence order is supported: pig.properties -> system properties -> -P property files. This means that if the same property is provided from command line via -D and in the property file specified with -P, the property from the file will take the precedence.
In addition to the pig properties, the same mechanism can be used to specify hadoop properties. Additionally, hadoop properties can be specified by placing directory containing hadoop-site.xml file onto the classpath. Hadoop properties are not interpreted by Pig but passed directly to Hadoop. Any hadoop property can be passed this way.
All properties that Pig collects (including Hadoop ones) are available to any UDF via the UDFContext. To get access to the properties, you can call getJobConf method.
