Santhosh Srinivasan commented on PIG-1014: ------------------------------------------ Another option is to change the implementation of COUNT to reflect the proposed semantics. If the underlying UDF is changed then the user should be notified via an information message. If the user checks the explain output then (s)he will notice COUNT_STAR and will be confused. > Pig should convert COUNT(relation) to COUNT_STAR(relation) so that all > records are counted without considering nullness of the fields in the records > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1014 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1014 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.4.0 > Reporter: Pradeep Kamath > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
