You're right. There're two issues here. First, the Jython script needs to
locate the modules in its search path (e.g. python.path). If you have the right
env variable set, Jython script should be able to find and import the module.
Second, Pig currently doesn't automatically ship the module file to the
backend, so even if you set the search path in the frontend, the backend still
cannot locate the module.
Finally, there is incompatibility between Python modules and Jython modules.
You need to use Jython modules that come with Jython installation (in the Lib
directory).
We're looking into these issues and hoping to provide a solution in the next
release.

Hi Daniel,
I did put jython.jar in classpath. By comparing other python udfs with
this one, I find those udfs which work do not import anything. Could
that be the cause? Do I need to anything extra to import module in my
udf?
Thanks!
