Alan Gates commented on PIG-4405: --------------------------------- Based on the way it's used I'm surprised to see the HashMap wrapped in a Tuple. That will work because Pig allows nesting of types, but it doesn't seem necessary for what you're trying to do. > Adding 'map[]' support to mock/Storage > -------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-4405 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4405 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.14.0 > Reporter: Niels Basjes > Assignee: Niels Basjes > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: PIG-4405-20150723.patch > > > The mock/Storage contains convenience methods for creating a bag and a tuple > when doing unit tests. Pig has however 3 complex data types ( see > http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.14.0/basic.html#Simple+and+Complex ) and the > third one (the map) is not yet present in such a convenience method. > Feature request: Add such a method to facilitate testing map[] output better. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
