Ofer Mendelevitch created PIG-3442:
--------------------------------------
Summary: ToDate() null pointer exception when date is NULL
Key: PIG-3442
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3442
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Ofer Mendelevitch
When using ToDate(), if the date string is NULL, PIG crashes on NPE (Null
pointer exception) instead of gracefully notifying of an invalid argument
condition.
Here's a reproducible example:
a = load 'file.txt' using PigStorage(',') as (id:int, date:chararray);
b = foreach a generate id, date, ToDate(date, 'yyyy-MM-dd');
dump b;
where "file.txt" can be like this:
1,2013-05-08
2,2012-11-02
3,
4,2013-01-03
