Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-2880: ---------------------------------------- Ah, forgot about the second argument. In that case, just take care of nulls, wrong # or type of arguments, etc, in your code. Also note you can provide the @OutputSchema annotation to tell Pig what to expect to come out of this UDF. > Pig current releases lack a UDF charAt.This UDF returns the char value at the > specified index. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-2880 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2880 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: piggybank > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Sabir Ayappalli > > Pig current releases lack a UDF charAt.This UDF returns the char value at the > specified index.
