Hi, Talat. Thank you for your response.
I lost that detail. Never knew that in order to shrink an array we had to nullify first. I don't know how to do in the Pig connector when updating an array... :S So, let me see if I understood. In order to delete an element (shrink) an array you have to: 1 - Define the array as nullable ['null', ...] 2 - Set the array as null in the persistent's field and persist. 3 - Set the new array in the persistent's field and persist. Although it works, I don't know what/why but I find something inherent wrong. Well, at least it is a solution and I can't think about a better way at this moment. Thank you very much :) Regards, Alfonso 2014-10-27 16:28 GMT+01:00 Talat Uyarer <[email protected]>: > Hi Alfonso, > > As i know when you want to change array's item you should replace with > null.
