Ruslan Al-Fakikh commented on PIG-2315:
---------------------------------------
As a user I would desire the way as it was suggested here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2216
to allow just one syntax for casting (and forbid/deprecate the other).
Daniel, don't you think that:
{quote}
A1 = foreach A1 generate (int)a as a:chararray;
=> A1 = foreach A1 generate (chararray)((int)a) as a;
{quote}
will make things more complicated?
> Make as clause work in generate
