Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-2205:
----------------------------------------
Thejas -- yeah I guess it's a duplicate, though perhaps we should keep 2
separate issues since we are suggesting 2 different fixes that complement each
other.
PIG-1967 is for requiring casts and deprecating the no-cast.
This ticket is for also looking at the meaning of what you are doing, and
displaying a helpful error message if you are referring to your own relation or
column, rather than printing a deprecated message and trying anyway.
