Parameter pre-processing of values containing pig positional variables ($0, $1 etc) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1588 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1588 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Components: impl Affects Versions: 0.7.0 Reporter: Laukik Chitnis Fix For: 0.7.0 Pig 0.7 requires the positional variables to be escaped by a \\ when passed as part of a parameter value (either through cmd line param or through param_file), which was not the case in Pig 0.6 Assuming that this was not an intended breakage of backward compatibility (could not find it in release notes), this would be a bug. For example, We need to pass INPUT=CountWords(\\$0,\\$1,\\$2) instead of simply INPUT=CountWords($0,$1,$2) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
