Not sure if this is a noob question but I've been digging quite a lot and
trying different things and I just can't seem to use a non static class for
Initial/Intermed/Final getters or use constructors for them. Can this be
done and how?

Kind of resolved... If it's a nested class it has to be static but I still
see the empty constructor being called multiple times but after that it
seems to call the correct one.

In Java nested classes need to be static if you want to use them as normal
outer classes.
Otherwise your are implicitly defining a field with type of the nested
class in the outer class.

If I am not wrong, it is possible that the empty constructor is called
during the plan generation phase.

Yeah i managed to figure the first thing out :) And you are right about the
constructor being called during the planning phase, but still it is kind of
annoying to have to implement it even if I never use it.

Yeah.. Joys of reflection.
Note that if you are writing algebraics against pig 0.11 you probably
want to extend AlgebraicEvalFunc -- that gives you the normal exec()
and the accumulative implementation for free.
