CastUtils - Converting Pig DataTypes to Java Data Types
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1896
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1896
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: impl
Affects Versions: 0.8.0
Reporter: Jonathan Holloway
Priority: Minor
I ran into an issue with parsing log lines whereby I had to generate a schema
in a user defined function. Part of that involved converting various values
into their associated data types, but I couldn't see a way to do it via Pig.
Enclosed is a patch to convert org.apache.pig.data.DataType into an associated
Java datatype falling back to a String by default - should go into CastUtils.
Any comments/criticism, please let me know.
