Thejas M Nair commented on PIG-1997:
------------------------------------
Referring to a column in a bytearray column results in error, if the object is
a DataByteArray -
{code}
grunt> cat bag.txt
1 {(1,2,3)}
4 {(4,5,6)}
grunt> l = load 'bag.txt' as (a, b);
grunt> f = foreach l generate b.$0;
grunt> dump f;
...
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.pig.data.DataByteArray cannot be cast
to org.apache.pig.data.Tuple

> define semantics of referring to a column within bytearray column

> Key: PIG-1997
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1997
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Thejas M Nair
>
> When column x is of type bytearray, the semantics of x.$0 is not clear.
> We need to define the behavior of this expression in the following cases -
> 1. Column type is bytearray and the actual object is DataByteArray.
> 2. Column type is bytearray and the actual object is either a Tuple or
> DataBag.
> When the bytearray column is an object of type DataByteArray, pig runtime
> tries to cast the object as a tuple and fails with a cast exception.
> I am not sure of the current behavior if the bytearray column actually
> contains a Tuple or DataBag object. (Needs to be tested).
> This is related to PIG-1281 .
