Daniel Dai commented on PIG-1016: --------------------------------- I think the problem is in current TextDataParser, map is defined as String#String, and string exclude special characters such as "(", ")", ",", so busy has no way to generate a tuple in the value field of the map. The approach busy took looks valid to me. > Reading in map data seems broken > -------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1016 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1016 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: data > Affects Versions: 0.4.0 > Reporter: hc busy > Attachments: PIG-1016.patch > > > Hi, I'm trying to load a map that has a tuple for value. The read fails in > 0.4.0 because of a misconfiguration in the parser. Where as in almost all > documentation it is stated that value of the map can be any time. > I've attached a patch that allows us to read in complex objects as value as > documented. I've done simple verification of loading in maps with tuple/map > values and writing them back out using LOAD and STORE. All seems to work fine. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
