/**
 * This class was being used to create new tuple instances in some
 * udfs and other places in pig code, even though the tuplefactory creation
 * function (getInstance()) is static in TupleFactory
 *  (ie DefaultTuple could not override it)
 *  A typical call is - DefaultTupleFactory.getInstance().newTuple(..);
 *  
 *  So that such external udfs don't break, a DefaultTupleFactory is present.
 *  Don't use this in your code, use TupleFactory directly instead.
