------------------------------------
Chatted with Johnny, and it looks like TestMacroExpansion isn't a good place to
put a new test case for this. It might be better to add one to TestSplit.

> Hi, I'm unable to return multiple values from a macro when values come from a
> SPLIT. Here is an small example:
> {code}
> DEFINE my_macro(seq) RETURNS valid, invalid {
> added = FOREACH $seq GENERATE $0 * 2, $1;
> SPLIT added INTO $valid IF $1 == true, $invalid OTHERWISE;
> }
> data = LOAD 'case.csv' USING PigStorage(',') AS (value: int, valid: boolean);
> P, Q = my_macro(data);
> DUMP P;
> DUMP Q;
> {code}
> Pig is unable to recognize the {{OTHERWISE}} side. Error is: {{ERROR
> org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 1200: <at case.pig, line 3> Invalid
> macro definition: . Reason: Macro 'my_macro' missing return alias: invalid}}
> Simple workaround is to force {{$invalid}} to be returned as {{FOREACH}}
> result:
> {code}
> SPLIT added INTO $valid IF $1 == true, tmp_invalid OTHERWISE;
> $invalid = FOREACH tmp_invalid GENERATE *;
> {code}
> Samples and logs attached to the issue.
