Unknown parameter causes pig to exit without message ----------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-680 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-680 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Andreas Neumann Priority: Minor This pig script: -- REGISTER $unknown; x = LOAD 'nn' AS x:chararray; DUMP x; I run like this: > java -jar ../../../../Pig/pig.jar -x local -file nn.pig and pig does nothing, just exits without doiung anything. But if I remove the $ from the first line of the script, then: > java -jar ../../../../Pig/pig.jar -x local -file nn.pig 2009-02-13 16:30:01,062 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.local.executionengine.LocalPigLauncher - 100% complete! 2009-02-13 16:30:01,063 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.local.executionengine.LocalPigLauncher - Success!! (abc) (def) Similarly if I define the unknown parameter on the command line, it works fine: > java -jar ../../../../Pig/pig.jar -x local -file nn.pig -param unknown=1 2009-02-13 16:32:23,652 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.local.executionengine.LocalPigLauncher - 100% complete! 2009-02-13 16:32:23,653 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.local.executionengine.LocalPigLauncher - Success!! (abc) (def) It seems that undefined parameters cause pig to exit without doing anything... even if they are within a comment... -Andreas. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
