Hong Tang commented on PIG-653: ------------------------------- my quibble is that the interface uses null to indicate all required for nested fields, but uses a concrete class for top level fields. any justification why possible future extensions are only applicable to top-level fields but not nested fields? > Make fieldsToRead work in loader > -------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-653 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-653 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Pradeep Kamath > Attachments: PIG-653-2.comment > > > Currently pig does not call the fieldsToRead function in LoadFunc, thus it > does not provide information to load functions on what fields are needed. We > need to implement a visitor that determines (where possible) which fields in > a file will be used and relays that information to the load function. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
