Juan Gentile commented on PIG-2692: ----------------------------------- +1 for being able to override multiple inputs. Regarding the ordering of results, I did my own assert: void assertUnsortedOutput(String[] expected, String alias) throws IOException, ParseException, AssertionError { List<String> expectedResults = new LinkedList<>(Arrays.asList(expected)); Iterator<Tuple> resultsIterator = getAlias(alias); int size = 0; while (resultsIterator.hasNext()) { String result = resultsIterator.next().toString(); assertTrue(expectedResults.contains(result)); expectedResults.remove(result); size++; } Assert.assertEquals(expected.length, size); } > Make the Pig unit faciliities more generalizable and update javadocs > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-2692 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2692 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jeremy Hanna > Priority: Minor > > This ticket has two goals for Pig unit: > 1) Pig unit has a really nice method assertOutput(String inputAlias, String[] > inputValues, String outputAlias, String[] expectedOutputValues). That method > lets you override an input alias variable with a hardcoded list of values. > That way, the script doesn't actually have to read that input variable from > hdfs or cassandra. Then, it runs the script and checks the specified output > alias variable against the expected set of values. It's a really nice way to > test your entire pig script with a single method call, but only IF your > script has exactly 1 input and 1 output. If you want to test more > complicated scripts, you have to jump through some hoops in order to override > more input variables. But, it would be fairly easy to change PigUnit so that > it can override any number of inputs and check any number of outputs and do > so easily. That's basically the change that I put into the base testing > class I wrote. But, it would be better to push that into PigUnit itself, and > it's something that could easily be done in an afternoon. > 2) Update javadocs for the pig unit test classes to make them more readable. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
