Yan Zhou commented on PIG-1026: ------------------------------- The STR_STORAGE actually has a problem : m2#{x} is actually specified twice. So a syntax exception should have been thrown. I'm going to attach a patch that throws the exception in a proper manner. After I correct the syntax error, the tests pass, particularly with "[m1#{a|b}, m2#{x|y}]; [m1]; [m2]" as the storage specification. > [zebra] map split returns null > ------------------------------ > > Key: PIG-1026 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1026 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.6.0 > Reporter: Jing Huang > Assignee: Yan Zhou > Fix For: 0.6.0 > > > Here is the test scenario: > final static String STR_SCHEMA = "m1:map(string),m2:map(map(int))"; > //final static String STR_STORAGE = "[m1#{a}];[m2#{x|y}]; [m1#{b}, > m2#{z}];[m1]"; > final static String STR_STORAGE = "[m1#{a}, m2#{x}];[m2#{x|y}]; [m1#{b}, > m2#{z}];[m1,m2]"; > projection: String projection2 = new String("m1#{b}, m2#{x|z}"); > User got null pointer exception on reading m1#{b}. > Yan, please refer to the test class: > TestNonDefaultWholeMapSplit.java -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
