> 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.
