Jonathan Coveney commented on PIG-2975: --------------------------------------- Gianmarco, That's what I'm currently pondering as well. Is there any reason why DataByteArray sorting needs to be stable across releases? I believe the docs say that there are no guarantees, which means it is subject to change at any time. If people want defined semantics in this respect, they can just cast it to the appropriate data type., no? > TestTypedMap.testOrderBy failing with incorrect result > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-2975 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2975 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: 0.11 > Reporter: Koji Noguchi > Assignee: Koji Noguchi > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.11 > > Attachments: PIG-2975-0_jco.patch, PIG-2975-0_jco-v2.patch, > pig-2975-trunk_v01.txt, pig-2975-trunk_v02-broken.txt, > pig-2975-trunk_v03-unionapproach.txt, pig-2975-trunk_v04-purerawcompare.txt > > > Looked at > {noformat} > junit.framework.AssertionFailedError > at org.apache.pig.test.TestTypedMap.testOrderBy(TestTypedMap.java:352) > {noformat} > This looks like a valid test case failing with incorrect result. > {noformat} > % cat test/orderby.txt > [key#1,key9#23] > [key#3,key3#2] > [key#22] > % cat test/orderby.pig > a = load 'test/orderby.txt' as (m:[]); > b = foreach a generate m#'key' as b0; > dump b; > c = order b by b0; > dump c; > % java ... org.apache.pig.Main -x local test/orderby.pig > [dump b] > (1) > (3) > (22) > ... > [dump c] > (1) > (1) > (22) > % > where did the '(3)' go? > {noformat} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
