If you ship the file explicitly, you can use this syntax from there. It will
pack it with the job jar and make sure it is in the working directory wherever
the job runs. Be careful of shipping very large files, it is probably better
to refactor your logic into multiple tiplevel pig statements on data loaded
from hdfs if you find yourself shipping fixed, very large files.

Subject: How can I load external files within jython UDF?
Hi,
I am trying to load some external resources within my jython udf functions, e.g:
@outputSchema(....)
def test():
f = open('test.txt.')
text = f.read()
f.close()
return text
I have place the 'test.txt' on both working folder and hdfs, and I got the
following error:
IOError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'test.txt')
I have also try to print out the working path of jython, with os.getcwd(),
below is what I got:
/home/hduser/tmp/mapred/local/taskTracker/hduser/jobcache/job_201212080111_0007/attempt_201212080111_0007_m_000000_0/work
....
I suspect that I can use absolute path within udf, but how can I transfer the
external resources to
other hadoop datanodes?
Thanks,
Young Wu
