Alan Gates reassigned PIG-98: ----------------------------- Assignee: Stefan Groschupf > grunt should show full exception stack > -------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-98 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-98 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: grunt > Reporter: Stefan Groschupf > Assignee: Stefan Groschupf > Priority: Minor > Attachments: showStackTrace-20080207.patch > > > I suggest grunt should be more helpful with user errors. I just did one (a > stupid one) and it took my too long to figure out the problem, since grunts > error message was just not giving me a good hint: > grunt> A = LOAD '/pigtestData.tsv' USING PigStorage(',') AS (user,age,cat); > grunt> B = FILTER A BY cat == 'book'; > grunt> dump B; > For input string: "book" > Experts will see that I tried to use == instead of eq, however especially new > users could get a little confused. > I see two chances add Error Number and descriptive texts (Oracle style) - > this quite a lot of work, or for now I suggest to simply dump the full > exception text. > At least for this early stage it would developers and users to find problems > faster. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
