Description

It should be possible to write UDFs in scripting languages such as python, ruby, etc. This frees users from needing to compile Java, generate a jar, etc. It also opens Pig to programmers who prefer scripting languages over Java. It should be possible to write these scripts inline as part of pig scripts. This feature is an extension of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-928
