relation-as-scalar - uses the last statement associated with the scalar alias -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1834 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1834 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.8.0 Reporter: Thejas M Nair Fix For: 0.9.0, 0.8.0 Pig allows relation alias to be re-used , ie refer to different relations(/statements) . I have not seen this in documentation, but I have seen people writing such queries. For example - {code} l = load 'x' as (a,b); l = filter l by a > 1; l = foreach ... store l into 'y' {code} At any part of the query, the alias "l' always represents the relation it last associated with the portion of pig-query above it. But in case of relation-as-scalar feature the association is happening with the last relation associated with the alias in entire script. For example - {code} l = load 'x' as (a,b); A = load 'x' as (a,b); B = foreach A generate a, l.a as la; l = foreach l generate a+1 as a; store B into 'b'; {code} The alias l in relation with alias B should refer to the load, but it refers to the foreach statement - #-------------------------------------------------- # Map Reduce Plan #-------------------------------------------------- MapReduce node scope-16 Map Plan l: Store(file:/tmp/temp-953430379/tmp2006282146:org.apache.pig.impl.io.InterStorage) - scope-8 | |---l: New For Each(false)[bag] - scope-7 | | | Add[int] - scope-5 | | | |---Cast[int] - scope-3 | | | | | |---Project[bytearray][0] - scope-2 | | | |---Constant(1) - scope-4 | |---l: Load(file:///Users/tejas/pig_type/trunk/x:org.apache.pig.builtin.PigStorage) - scope-1-------- Global sort: false ---------------- MapReduce node scope-17 Map Plan B: Store(file:///Users/tejas/pig_type/trunk/b:org.apache.pig.builtin.PigStorage) - scope-15 | |---B: New For Each(false,false)[bag] - scope-14 | | | Project[bytearray][0] - scope-9 | | | POUserFunc(org.apache.pig.impl.builtin.ReadScalars)[int] - scope-13 | | | |---Constant(0) - scope-11 | | | |---Constant(file:/tmp/temp-953430379/tmp2006282146) - scope-12 | |---A: Load(file:///Users/tejas/pig_type/trunk/x:org.apache.pig.builtin.PigStorage) - scope-0-------- Global sort: false ---------------- -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
