Parameterise generated pig script

[Punit Naik]

I wanted to pass arguments to the generated pig script. One lame way to do this is to again and again generate the script by passing arguments to the clojure functions.

But I wanted to create a generic script to which I can directly pass the arguments. I can do this by including the -p option while running the script and then passing the argument as a key-value pair.

But how do I refer this in the clojure code?

Pig arguments are defined using a dollar sign, like $VAR. In the past, I’ve used either strings:

(pig/load-tsv "$INPUT")

or vars:

(pig/map (fn [x] (+ x '$VALUE)))

to get parameters into the generated script.
