Gunther Hagleitner commented on PIG-2641:
-----------------------------------------
- The test file only seems to test the json loader but not the actual ToJson
function
- The json test input file doesn't seem to have all possible types
- There's already a TOMAP function - just wondering if the naming should be
TOJSON
- There's copied code from JsonStorage. For easier maintenance, can you
refactor to have both use the same code?
- I'm not sure about the bytearray datatype. It uses "toString" which will
interpret the data as utf8 characters and return null if it's not legal UTF8.
Is that the right thing to do for JSON? Base64? Refuse bytearray since Json
doesn't support it?
> Create toJSON function for all complex types: tuples, bags and maps
