             Summary: STRSPLITTOBAG
                 Key: PIG-3870
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3870
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Praveenesh Kumar


I had a scenario, which required me to change the STRSPLIT code. The scenario 
was as follows:

I have a data like:
1       A|1|1   some
2       B|2|2   data
3       C|3|3   hadoop


Need output like this :

1    A    some
1    1    some
1    1    some
2    B    data
2    2     data
2    2     data
3    C    hadoop
3    3    hadoop
3    3    hadoop

I was trying to use STRSPLIT($1,'\\|') which was returning a tuple, If I do 
flatten on it, it converts the data into columns.

If we return a bag of tuples, we can easily use flatten() to convert it into 
rows, plus can also convert that into Tuple using TOTUPLE() UDF (if someone 
just want to use it as tuple

After the suggestion from [~daijy], I am creating a JIRA ticket to create a new 
UDF STRSPLITTOBAG, which will return a bag of tuples as suggested above.
