Olga Natkovich resolved PIG-863. -------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 0.7.0 Resolution: Fixed This is already fixed as the last comment states > Function (UDF) automatic namespace resolution is really needed > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-863 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-863 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: David Ciemiewicz > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > > The Apache PiggyBank documentation says that to reference a function, I need > to specify a function as: > org.apache.pig.piggybank.evaluation.string.UPPER(text) > As in the example: > {code} > REGISTER /public/share/pig/contrib/piggybank/java/piggybank.jar ; > TweetsInaug = FILTER Tweets BY > org.apache.pig.piggybank.evaluation.string.UPPER(text) MATCHES > '.*(INAUG|OBAMA|BIDEN|CHENEY|BUSH).*' ; > {code} > Why can't we implement automatic name space resolution as so we can just > reference UPPER without namespace qualifiers? > {code} > REGISTER /public/share/pig/contrib/piggybank/java/piggybank.jar ; > TweetsInaug = FILTER Tweets BY UPPER(text) MATCHES > '.*(INAUG|OBAMA|BIDEN|CHENEY|BUSH).*' ; > {code} > I know about the workaround: > {code} > define org.apache.pig.piggybank.evaluation.string.UPPER UPPER > {code} > But this is really a pain to do if I have lots of functions. > Just warn if there is a collision and suggest I use the "define" workaround > in the warning messages. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
