Jonathan Coveney commented on PIG-2317:
---------------------------------------
Alan,
Thank you very much for your comments, and for adding tests (which it was
sorely lacking). Point 1 is indeed an error...this is an artifact of when I was
getting the whole canonicalName piece working, and wanted to force it to a Long
to isolate errors. The switch should be working now.
To point 2, there are a couple of ways that we can handle it. One would be to
create a DataByteArray class in Ruby which would allow us to do whatever we
wanted. Ruby, natively, does not have a binary type...what people usually do,
AFAIK (someone with deeper knowledge of ruby can chime in), is pack data into
strings. Since we're using JRuby, we can expose things however we like. I'll
think on an elegant solution but you are right, we need to do something else.
It is a goal of mine to get momentum going again to push this through, so thank
you very much for taking a look and adding the tests. I will get to work
figuring out why they are failing and update these comments.
