------------------------------------
+1 patch looks good to me
> outputSchema modification from scripting UDFs

> Project: Pig

> The examples for @schemaFunction that I've seen on the web
> (http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.10.0/udf.html#decorators) tend to be trivial
> ones that return the same schema passed in. I had a problem where I wrote a
> python udf that added a new field into a tuple in a bag. I ended up not
> specifying schema in python and then casting in pig. How does the community
> feel about making it easier to generate a dynamic schema from a scripting UDF?
> This could be done by modifying JythonFunction.outputSchema to handle
> outputSchemaFunc returning a string like @outputSchema does, or by exposing a
> public api that makes it easier to manipulate
> org.apache.pig.impl.logicalLayer.schema.Schema
