Aniket Mokashi commented on PIG-3367:
-------------------------------------
We also need to decide if we want to fail fast if assertion fails (Terminate
the job instantaneously). However, I am not sure if hadoop/pig has a friendly
mechanism to do so.
> Add assert keyword (operator) in pig

> Assert operator can be used for data validation. With assert you can write
> script as following-
> {code}
> a = load 'something' as (a0:int, a1:int);
> assert a by a0 > 0, 'a cant be negative for reasons';
> {code}
> This script will fail if assert is violated.
