Bill Graham updated PIG-2195:
-----------------------------
Attachment: expected_testRecordSplitFromText2.avro
expected_testRecordSplitFromText1.avro
PIG-2195_1.patch
Attached is a first patch that has:
* More unit tests reading from text files.
* A fix to how unit tests are run as described above.
* Support for specifying a JSON {{schema_file}}.
Also included are 2 new expected test result files that are needed for one of
the new tests. The should live here:
{{contrib/piggybank/java/src/test/java/org/apache/pig/piggybank/test/storage/avro/avro_test_files}}
> AvroStorage fails to STORE when LOADing via PigStorage

>
> Reading data via {{PigStorage}} and writing it via {{AvroStorage}} fails with
> an exception like this
> {{java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.pig.data.BinSedesTuple cannot be
> cast to org.apache.avro.generic.IndexedRecord}}
> The Pig script in this section of the documentation shows an example like
> this that fails:
> http://linkedin.jira.com/wiki/display/HTOOLS/AvroStorage+-+Pig+support+for+Avro+data#AvroStorage-PigsupportforAvrodata-A.Howtostoredataindifferentways.
> A workaround currently exists to produce avro from TSVs like this:
> {noformat}
> avro = LOAD 'inputPath/' AS (foo);
> STORE avro INTO 'outputPath/' USING oap.piggybank.storage.avro.AvroStorage(
> '{"data":"data_file.avro",
> "same":"data_file.avro", "field0":"def:bar"}');
> {noformat}
> This is redundant though and {{data}} and {{same}} seem to indicate the same
> thing. This approach also requires an existing avro data file to exist. This
> patch will make the following alternate constructor syntax's work as well.
> # Read schema from an existing data file:
> {noformat}
> '{"data":"data_file.avro", "field0":"def:bar"}');
> {noformat}
> # Read schema from an existing schema file:
> {noformat}
> '{"schema_file":"data_file.avsc", "field0":"def:bar"}');
> {noformat}
