Daniel Dai updated PIG-1916:
----------------------------
Description:
It is useful to have cross inside foreach nested statement. One typical use
case for nested foreach is after cogroup two relations, we want to flatten the
records of the same key, and do some processing. This is naturally to be
achieved by cross. Eg:
{code}
C = cogroup user by uid, session by uid;
D = foreach C {
crossed = cross user, session; -- To flatten two input bags
filtered = filter crossed by user::region == session::region;
result = foreach crossed generate processSession(user::age, user::gender,
session::ip); --Nested foreach Jira: PIG-1631
generate result;
}
{code}
If we don't have cross, user have to write a UDF process the bag user, session.
It is much harder than a UDF process flattened tuples. This is especially true
when we have nested foreach statement(PIG-1631).
This is a candidate project for Google summer of code 2011. More information
about the program can be found at http://wiki.apache.org/pig/GSoc2011
