Greetings,

Is there a way to dynamically generate (maybe via UDF) the path to
load/store data? (something like "A = LOAD InputPath() USING PigStorage();")

Currently we calculate the load/store path outside the pig script and pass
it as parameter. However we'd like to have a UDF that does that.

Thanks,

If it's a parameter, it could just be passed in as a $var

You could write a custom load/storefunc  and override setLocation(String
location, Job job). The logic you want the UDF for could go in there.
