Santhosh Srinivasan commented on PIG-773:
-----------------------------------------
Review comments:
1. In addition to checking the type of the constant, the value should also be
checked. The checks on the data type is good. A check on the actual contents of
the empty bag, empty tuple and empty map will complete the testing.
{code}
+ LOConst loConst = (LOConst)logOp;
+ assertTrue(loConst.getType() == DataType.TUPLE);
+ assertTrue(loConst.getValue() instanceof Tuple);
{code}
2. When you have a bag like {(), (1)}, the schema of this bag is returned as a
bag that contains a tuple that has no schema. This might be the right approach
for now, i.e., if a bag contains a tuple with no schema then the schema of the
bag will contain a tuple with no schema irrespective of the contents of the
remaining tuple. This approach/idea falls into the bigger question of how to
handle unknown schemas in Pig. Since Alan is looking at this question for all
of Pig, it will be good if he can review this part.
