Ashutosh Chauhan commented on PIG-1755:
---------------------------------------

bq. It occurred to me after posting this patch that it would be better to use 
the DataType enums instead of classes

Are you referring to types defined in DataType.java ? Currently, they are byte. 
Changing them to enums instead may not be desirable since while writing out 
tuples we first write the type(which is a byte). byte is efficient 
representation there but if we change to enums, enums will get serialized and 
will take more then a byte. I/O cost resulting from that will be order of 
magnitude worse then CPU savings we might get by having enums.

> A lot of the getNext() implementations in PhysicalOperators is copy-pasted, 
> with only the method signatures and casts changing. 
> Shorter code leads to less bugs and is easier to read.
