> New AvroStorage throws NPE when storing untyped map/array/bag
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-3377
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3377
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: internal-udfs
> Reporter: Cheolsoo Park
> Assignee: Joseph Adler
> Fix For: 0.12
>
>
> The following example demonstrates the issue:
> {code}
> a = LOAD 'foo' AS (m:map[]);
> STORE a INTO 'bar' USING AvroStorage();
> {code}
> This fails with the following error:
> {code}
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> at
> org.apache.pig.impl.util.avro.AvroStorageSchemaConversionUtilities.resourceFieldSchemaToAvroSchema(AvroStorageSchemaConversionUtilities.java:462)
> at
> org.apache.pig.impl.util.avro.AvroStorageSchemaConversionUtilities.resourceSchemaToAvroSchema(AvroStorageSchemaConversionUtilities.java:335)
> at org.apache.pig.builtin.AvroStorage.checkSchema(AvroStorage.java:472)
> {code}
> Similarly, untyped bag causes the following error:
> {code}
> Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
> at org.apache.avro.Schema$ArraySchema.toJson(Schema.java:722)
> ...
> at org.apache.avro.Schema.getElementType(Schema.java:256)
> at
> org.apache.pig.builtin.AvroStorage.setOutputAvroSchema(AvroStorage.java:491)
> {code}
> The problem is that AvroStorage cannot derive the output schema from untyped
> map/bag/tuple. When type is not defined, it should be assumed as bytearray.
