Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-869:
------------------------------------
Support for conditionals in the script is a nice features but something that is
not easy to implement. Also, before we start adding constructs like this to the
language, we need to have a bigger picture of where we are taking the language.
It is not in the scope of the next few months but we might be able to revisit
this sometimes next year.
> Pig scripts should be able to handle scenario where input datasets not
> present/or empty before running

> Affects Versions: 0.2.0
> Environment: grid environment testing of pig 2.2
> Reporter: Rekha
> Priority: Minor

> Pig 2.2 does not handle situatiosn where dataset is not present, as in file
> missing, or empty file.
> It would be great if Pig would within scripts enforce some data checks.
> It can be any simple command like below that can be easily wrapped around all
> input sources--
> if ( datapath_valid && data_present && file_not_empty) {
> run the rest of the script
> }
> else {
> throw an exception/error code
> --this should be easily trappable valuecode in logs
> }
> This improvement can be beneficial for our DQ check.
