Niels Basjes created PIG-3297:
---------------------------------
Summary: Avro files with stringType set to String cannot be read
by the AvroStorage LoadFunc
Key: PIG-3297
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3297
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Bug
Components: piggybank
Affects Versions: 0.11.1
Reporter: Niels Basjes
When an Avro file is created there exists the option to set the "String Type"
to a different class than the default Utf8.
A very common situation is that the "String Type" is set to the default String
class.
When trying to read such an Avro file in Pig using the AvroStorage LoadFunc
from the included piggybank this gives the following Exception:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to
org.apache.avro.util.Utf8
at
org.apache.pig.piggybank.storage.avro.PigAvroDatumReader.readString(PigAvroDatumReader.java:154)
at
org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumReader.read(GenericDatumReader.java:150)
