Koji Noguchi commented on PIG-3293:
-----------------------------------
When two inputs are loaded by the same loader, this was handled at PIG-2493.
In the case here, I can understand 'funcSpec' would be null for Union/Cast
since they are coming from two loaders, but can we still use the caster if both
loaders happen to have the same one (Utf8StorageConverter)?
> Casting fails after Union from two data sources&loaders
