[jira] [Created] (PIG-2469) Support %define and %default in macros

Support %define and %default in macros
--------------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-2469
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2469
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 0.9.0
            Reporter: Bill Graham


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}

---------------------------------------

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