I'm wanting to get this into piggybank sometime, so I figure to post it here before blogging about it tomorrow. If anyone had a minute for code review, I'd appreciate it.
https://github.com/rjurney/pig-to-json/blob/master/src/com/hortonworks/pig/udf/ToJson.java I needed this to store bags of tuples in Redis, because the pig-redis<https://github.com/mattb/pig-redis>driver doesn't support complex types. The one thing it doesn't do that maybe it should is to be able to serialize fields into simple objects with name/value, like: B = foreach A generate ToJson(my_simple_field) -> {"my_simple_field": value} At the moment that just returns: value Also, is there an issue with the name? I could name it ToSimpleJson since it isn't respecting Pig types beyond numeric/string types in javascript, if we had a ToJson that produced a schema chunk a well. -- Russell Jurney twitter.com/rjurney russell.jur...@gmail.com datasyndrome.com
