hc busy commented on PIG-1016:
------------------------------

Thanks to everyone who is reviewing this ticket. I really appreciate it!

This feature is important because the data I have is slightly hierarchical 
(maps(string#map(:)) Some times I need to sort by values corresponding to one 
key in the map, while other times I need to merge on a value corresponding to a 
different key of the map.

Aside from the unit tests running, I also performed some join tests from this 
parser. The results are all fine except for the skew join, which produced twice 
as many rows as was right... has anybody else encountered this problem? Or is 
it only a result of taking values from a map?


thanks!

> 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.
