Hey all,

I am wondering what the dependencies in the lib folder of pig are used for, i.e. automation, hbase, and zookeeper. If we are not working with hbase at all, do we need them to run pig scripts? I removed them and everything seemed to be okay still for a test script, but I'm not sure if it will cause problems later on.

Correct, you don't need the HBase jars (and probably the ZK jars as
well) at runtime if you're not doing anything with HBase.

It is used by the matches clause , for evaluating the regular expressions. It is faster than java regex libs.
