Order of execution of fs, store and sh commands in Pig is not maintained ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-2497 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2497 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Components: impl Affects Versions: 0.9.1 Reporter: Viraj Bhat I have a pig script like this : --Load data, process it and store to two outputs {code} a = load 'dummy.txt' as (cookie: chararray,timestamp: long,url: chararray); b = group a by (cookie); c = foreach b generate group, COUNT_STAR(a); store c into '$COUNT_OUTPUT' using PigStorage(); store b into '$GRID_OUTPUT' using PigStorage(); --Remove local file, copy to local and remove processed file from grid sh rm -rf '$LOCAL_OUTPUT'; fs -getmerge '$GRID_OUTPUT' '$LOCAL_OUTPUT'; fs -rmr '$GRID_OUTPUT'; Pig does not guarantee the order of command execution in the above script i.e. the "store" "sh rm...", "fs -getmerge ..." and "fs -rmr ..." will not be executed in the written order. Pig guarantees that "fs" commands and pig "store" commands will be executed in sequence. But "sh" commands will get executed before anything else (in normal multi-query mode) because "sh" commands are executed when the parser sees them. They go through a different code path within Pig. This behavior needs to be changed. Thanks Viraj -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
