>
> In Pig-335, the lineage design states that UDFs that return bytearrays could
> cause problems in tracing the lineage. For UDFs that do not return bytearray,
> the lineage design should pickup the right load function to use as long as
> there is no ambiguity. In the current implementation, we could have issues
> with scripts like:
> {code}
> a = load 'input' as (field1);
> b = foreach a generate myudf_to_double(field1);
> c = foreach b generate $0 + 2.0;
> {code}
> When $0 has to be cast to a double, the lineage code will complain that it
> hit a UDF and hence cannot determine the right load function to use.
