Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-1758:
-------------------------------------
This looks like a pretty involved change and not a bug fix but a new feature.
Also, I am not sure if it is completely backward compatible. I would be
hesitant to backport this into 0.8 branch.
How about just making the patch available for 0.8 branch so that they can use
it with the branch if they choose so.

> Pig does not handle deep cast from bag -> bag, tuple -> tuple. Eg, the
> following script does not produce desired result:
> {code}
> a = load '1.txt' as (a0:bag{t:tuple(i0:double)});
> b = foreach a generate (bag{tuple(int)})a0;
> dump b;
> {code}
> The result tuple still contain int inside tuple of bag.
> PIG-613 fix the case we cast bytearray -> bag/tuple, we take complex type
> including inner types, but bag->bag, tuple->tuple is still not effective.
