Hudson commented on CASSANDRA-2777: ----------------------------------- Integrated in Cassandra-0.8 #348 (See [https://builds.apache.org/job/Cassandra-0.8/348/]) Pig storage handler implements LoadMetadata interface. Patch by brandonwilliams, reviewed by Jeremy Hanna for CASSANDRA-2777 brandonwilliams : http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/?root=Apache-SVN&view=rev&rev=1177083 Files : * /cassandra/branches/cassandra-0.8/contrib/pig/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hadoop/pig/CassandraStorage.java > Pig storage handler should implement LoadMetadata > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2777 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2777 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Contrib > Reporter: Brandon Williams > Assignee: Brandon Williams > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.8.7 > > Attachments: 2777-v2.txt, 2777.txt > > > The reason for this is many builtin functions like SUM won't work on longs > (you can workaround using LongSum, but that's lame) because the query planner > doesn't know about the types beforehand, even though we are casting to native > longs. > There is some impact to this, though. With LoadMetadata implemented, > existing scripts that specify schema will need to remove it (since LM is > doing it for them) and they will need to conform to LM's terminology (key, > columns, name, value) within the script. This is trivial to change, however, > and the increased functionality is worth the switch. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
