-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow UDF's to flatten themselves
Key: PIG-3010
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3010
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jonathan Coveney
Assignee: Jonathan Coveney
Fix For: 0.12
This is something I thought would be cool for a while, so I sat down and did it
because I think there are some useful debugging tools it'd help with.
The idea is that if you attach an annotation to a UDF, the Tuple or DataBag you
output will be flattened. This is quite powerful. A very common pattern is:
a = foreach data generate Flatten(MyUdf(thing)) as (a,b,c);
This would let you just do:
a = foreach data generate MyUdf(thing);
With the exact same result!
