Hi all,
I advised a user to use the new -tagsource option for PigStorage
recently, but it wasn't useful for him because it only contains the
filename (in this case, MR output like "part-m-00000.lzo"). He'd
really like to get the full path, instead. Can we change tagsource to
do that? Or perhaps add yet another flag?

What do you think?

Hi Dmitriy,

Adding a new flag would be the way in my opinion. I have often seen
users interested in the file name only but it wouldn't harm to provide
an option to be able to read the entire path. Changing tag source
would not be backward compatible.

Can you please open a JIRA? I can work on this.

Thanks,
Prashant
