Jeff Zhang updated PIG-893: --------------------------- Attachment: Pig_893.Patch Dmitriy, Thank you for your review and comments. I updated the patch and here's a comment about the patch. I did not remove the testcase with pig script, because executing a pig script involves more things,such as type checking. So It would be safer to add such testcase. Besides, I also add a testcase for straightforward conversion. Alan, Thank you for your comments. Now I understand why pig put bytesTo*** in the LoadFunc. > support cast of chararray to other simple types > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-893 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-893 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.4.0 > Reporter: Thejas M Nair > Assignee: Jeff Zhang > Fix For: 0.4.0 > > Attachments: Pig_893.Patch > > > Pig should support casting of chararray to > integer,long,float,double,bytearray.
