Gianmarco De Francisci Morales commented on PIG-2315:
-----------------------------------------------------
What is the desired solution?
To make the aforementioned syntax work as a cast or to allow only explicit
casting?
E.g.
{code}
A1 = foreach A1 generate (chararray) a;
{code}
> Make as clause work in generate
