[jira] Commented: (PIG-1777) LoadFunc in a scripting language

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1777?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12973294#action_12973294 ] 

Alan Gates commented on PIG-1777:
---------------------------------

Looks interesting.  Extending the scripting UDFs to include load and store is a logical next step. 

One question, why tie this to Sequence files?  Why not let the user specify any input format that can return a key and value?
