> As described in PIG-1188, if users define a schema (w or w/o types), we need
> to check the number of fields after loading data, so if there are less fields
> we need to pad null fields, and if there are more fields we need to throw
> them away.
> For schema with types, Pig used to insert a Foreach after the loader for type
> casting which also checks #fields. For schema without types there was no such
> Foreach, thus PIG-1188 inserted one just for checking #fields. Unfortunately,
> Foreach is too expensive for such checking, and ideally we can push it into
> the loader.
