Santhosh Srinivasan commented on PIG-449:
-----------------------------------------
Currently, bags in Pig are containers of tuples. Accessing elements inside a
bag should translate to accessing elements inside the tuple contained in the
bag. In addition, accessing tuples inside a bag should be restricted to the
FLATTEN keyword in a FOREACH statement. A few examples shown below will
demonstrate the point.
{code}
a = load '/user/pig/data/student.data' using PigStorage(' ') as (name, age,
gpa);
b = foreach a generate {(16, 4.0e-2, 'hello')} as b:{t:(i: int, d: double, c:
chararray)};
c = foreach b generate b.i; -- Here b.i should generate a bag of integers by
accessing the column called 'i' inside each tuple
d = foeach b generate b.t; -- This should be outlawed as the tuple inside the
bag does not have a column called 't' although the tuple inside the bag are
named 't'
{code}
Summary:
1. The frontend should translate access to columns in a bag to columns inside
the tuple in the bag
2. The frontend should prevent access to tuples inside the bag via projections
and allow access only via the FLATTEN keyword
Thoughts/suggestions/comments are welcome.

>
> The front end treats relations as operators that return bags. When the
> schema of a load statement is specified, the bag is associated with the
> schema specified by the user. Ideally, the schema corresponds to the tuple
> contained in the bag.
> With PIG-380, the schema for bag constants are computed by the front end. The
> schema for the bag contains the tuple which in turn contains the schema of
> the columns. This results in errors when columns are accessed directly just
> like the load statements.
> The front end should then treat access to the columns as a double
> dereference, i.e., access the tuple inside the bag and then the column inside
> the tuple.
