BELUGA BEHR commented on PIG-5268:
----------------------------------

[~rohini] [~nkollar]

I understand that these trivial changes can be burdensome for the gain, but 
attracting more developers can sometimes hinge on how beat-up the code is.  
Additionally someone who is evaluating the code base to build a product on, 
they may be turned off by dead code, bad formatting, and bad code re-use.  I 
know I would question it.  I would question how much care was put into a 
product.

So, I don't think there's anything wrong with putting some polish and shine on 
a project used by many production systems.  My goal would be to, over time, 
mold the project into a better direction that people open up and are excited 
by.  These are marked appropriately as trivial.  Spare cycles can be dedicated 
to some cleanup.

I have a customer interested in using Pig, so I was just starting to get a feel 
for the project by submitting a couple of trivial patches. I don't know how 
helpful I'll be on full feature requests, but I can review the open tickets.

Thanks for considering this patch.
