Prashant Kommireddi updated PIG-2600: ------------------------------------- Attachment: PIG-2600.patch An initial patch for KEYSET, VALUESET, VALUELIST. I wanted to have more eyes look at it and comment. I have a test case for KEYSET and will be working on tests for others soon. > Better Map support > ------------------ > > Key: PIG-2600 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2600 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jonathan Coveney > Fix For: 0.11 > > Attachments: PIG-2600.patch > > > It would be nice if Pig played better with Maps. To that end, I'd like to add > a lot of utility around Maps. > - TOBAG should take a Map and output {(key, value)} > - TOMAP should take a Bag in that same form and make a map. > - KEYSET should return the set of keys. > - VALUESET should return the set of values. > - VALUELIST should return the List of values (no deduping). > - INVERSEMAP would return a Map of values => the set of keys that refer to > that Key > This would all be pretty easy. A more substantial piece of work would be to > make Pig support non-String keys (this is especially an issue since UDFs and > whatnot probably assume that they are all Integers). Not sure if it is worth > it. > I'd love to hear other things that would be useful for people! -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
