Thejas M Nair commented on PIG-485:
-----------------------------------
This bug can cause confusion about the place of error , for example -
grunt> L = load 'students.txt' as (n:chararray,s:chararray,a:int,s:float);
grunt> LL = load 'students2.txt' as (nn:chararray,sn:chararray,an:int,sn:float);
grunt> J = join L by a, LL by an ;
2009-04-07 14:56:37,331 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR
1007: Found duplicates in schema. LL::sn: 2 columns, L::s: 2 columns. Please
alias the columns with unique names.
It appears as if the error is in Join, caused by column names being same across
join inputs. But the problem is actually caused by duplicate column aliases in
load statements.
It should give an error immediately after the load statement with duplicate
column aliases are entered (,or at least warn if someone gives two columns in a
relation with same name, immediately after the load statement is entered).
