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.
