LIMIT

Hi,
did anyone already looked into a LIMIT function. A limit function  
makes a lot of sense together with the orderBy.
Any thoughts how this can be realized?

Thanks.

Stefan,

Are you still looking at this?
Since the only blockage is the syntax. If we can just come up with a good
one, we can have this useful function easily.

Stefan,

There was a discussion about this function before in
*PIG-171<http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-171>.
*Basically the implementation should be simple but we just didn't agree upon
the syntax.
