Xuefu Zhang commented on PIG-2021: ---------------------------------- The above test case seems having a few problems: 1. LOWER() returns a string, so parsedurl is a string. However, it's later used as a map. Such conversion is invalid. 2. generate * will output input, so the nested commands in the second foreach is useless. 3. with latest in the trunk, the above query parses without problem. grunt> A = load 'temp' as ( s, m, l ); grunt> B = foreach A generate *, LOWER((chararray) s#'url') as parsedurl; 2011-05-09 13:37:04,796 [main] WARN org.apache.pig.PigServer - Encountered Warning IMPLICIT_CAST_TO_MAP 1 time(s). grunt> C = foreach B { >> urlpath = (chararray) parsedurl#'path'; >> lc_urlpath = >> org.apache.pig.piggybank.evaluation.string.Reverse((chararray) urlpath); >> generate *; >> }; 2011-05-09 13:37:06,315 [main] WARN org.apache.pig.PigServer - Encountered Warning IMPLICIT_CAST_TO_MAP 1 time(s). grunt> describe C; 2011-05-09 13:37:10,676 [main] WARN org.apache.pig.PigServer - Encountered Warning IMPLICIT_CAST_TO_MAP 1 time(s).
