Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-1596:
----------------------------------------
Jeff,
I think it's clearer if you insert null into the tuple, not an empty
DataByteArray (and assertNull in the test)
George, the SNAPSHOT thing is a real bug, thanks for catching that, this
happened when pig was made available through maven in PIG-1334.
I'll create a separate ticket for that.
> NPE's thrown when attempting to load hbase columns containing null values

> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: data
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Reporter: George P. Stathis
> Fix For: 0.8.0, 0.9.0

> Attachments: null_hbase_records.patch, PIG_1596.patch

> I'm not a committer, but I'd like to suggest the attached patch to handle
> loading hbase rows containing null cell values (since hbase is all about
> sparsly populated data rows). As it stands, a DataByteArray can be created
> with a null mData if a cell has no value, which causes NPEs by simply
> attempting to load a row containing the null cell in question.
> PS: the attached patch also contains a slight change to the bin/pig
> executable to point to the build/pig\-\*\-SNAPSHOT.jar and not the
> build/pig\-\*\-dev.jar (the latter no longer seems to exist). If you prefer a
> separate patch for this, I'll be happy to submit it.
