loading/reading json for Pig processing sounds like a common useful
functionality.

however, I have not found any implementation for such.

(and yes, I know of Elephant Bird, which reads LZO-compressed json (but not
regular json))
but I did see a reference in the "Hadoop Training: Introduction to Pig" (
http://www.cloudera.com/videos/introduction_to_pig)

within the downloadable IntroToPig.pdf, where  there is a mention of
PigJsonLoader

however, there is no such UDF within the piggybank source of
the cloudera distributed vm, or within any other piggybank jar out there
that I have seen.

so I wonder, where can I find a pig json reader/loader that can accomplish
the equivalent of: A = LOAD ‘data.json’ USING PigJsonLoader();

???
any pointeres would be greatly appreciated ...

Here's mine:

Pretty much the same as the LZO one minus the LZO stuff.  Works with pig
0.7.

For some reason, I always thought there is a JSONLoader in Piggybank.
Seems like there is none. Kim, it would be great if you can contribute
yours..
