Greetings. For testing purposes I need to create a relation in a Pig script. I found 2 questions about this in StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13414172/how-to-create-a-small-constant-relationtable-in-pig http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12423399/define-tuple-datas-in-the-pig-script Is there anything about this? Resuming, there are 4 possible solutions: - Load from a file with the data - Load an empty file and set data with foreach-generate - Load from a special loader (ConstantLoader?) - Add to Pig Latin the construction "A = value". I find the solution 1 right, but much hassle to load only 1 tuple. I find the solution 2 quite dirty. I find the solution 3 factible. I find the solution 4 factible but more work than solution 3. Another point is that solution 3 is better than solution 1 when it is only for 1 or 2 tuples because that tuple can be created based on parameteres to the script. I did not find an issue related in jira. Does anyone know about? I can develop solution 3, but before creating any issue I think the best thing is to ask here :) Thanks, Alfonso Nishikawa
