Allow type merge between numerical type and non-numerical type
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-989
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-989
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Bug
Components: impl
Affects Versions: 0.5.0
Reporter: Daniel Dai
Currently, we do not allow type merge between numerical type and non-numerical
type. And the error message is confusing.
Eg, if you run:
a = load '1.txt' as (a0:chararray, a1:chararray);
b = load '2.txt' as (b0:long, b1:chararray);
c = join a by a0, b by b0;
dump c;
And the error message is "ERROR 1051: Cannot cast to Unknown"
We shall:
1. Allow the type merge between numerical type and non-numerical type
2. Or at least, provide more meaningful error message to the user
