DataBagIterator.hasNext() should be idempotent ----------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1231 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1231 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Components: impl Affects Versions: 0.6.0 Reporter: Daniel Dai Assignee: Daniel Dai Fix For: 0.6.0 Current implementation of DataBagIterator.hasNext() will actually fetch the next tuple every time. So if we call hasNext() consecutively, more than 1 tuples will be fetched. This is confusing cuz the name hasNext() implies that it is idempotent. In BagFormat, we do misuse DataBagIterator.hasNext() because of this, which leads to some mysterious errors. Here is one error we saw: Caused by: java.io.IOException: Stream closed at java.io.BufferedInputStream.getBufIfOpen(BufferedInputStream.java:145) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.fill(BufferedInputStream.java:189) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(BufferedInputStream.java:237) at java.io.DataInputStream.readByte(DataInputStream.java:248) at org.apache.pig.data.DefaultTuple.readFields(DefaultTuple.java:278) at org.apache.pig.data.DefaultDataBag$DefaultDataBagIterator.readFromFile(DefaultDataBag.java:237) ... 20 more This happens because: we call hasNext(), which reach EOF and we close the file. Then we call hasNext() again in the assumption that it is idempotent. However, the stream is closed so we get this error message. This fix will go to DefaultDataBagIterator, DistinctDataBagIterator, CachedBagIterator, SortedDataBagIterator. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
