Pig should check schema alias duplication at any levels. --------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1654 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1654 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Xuefu Zhang Assignee: Xuefu Zhang Fix For: 0.9.0 The following script appears valid to Pig but it shouldn't: A = load 'file' as (a:tuple( u:int, u:bytearray, w:long), b:int, c:chararray); dump A; Pig tries to launch map/reduce jobs for this. However, for the following script, Pig correctly reports error message: A = load 'file' as (a:int, b:long, c:bytearray); dump A; Error message is: 2010-09-28 15:53:37,390 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 1108: Duplicate schema alias: b in "A" Thus, Pig only checks alias duplication at the top level, which is confirmed by looking at the code. The right behavior is that the same check should be applied at all levels. This should be addressed in the new parser. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
