Daniel Dai commented on PIG-2692:
---------------------------------
Can you add some documentation to
http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.13.0/test.html#pigunit? The source code for
documentation is in src/docs/src/documentation/content/xdocs/test.xml
> Make the Pig unit faciliities more generalizable and update javadocs

> 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.
