Pig does not support ORDER ... BY group alias ---------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1034 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1034 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Reporter: David Ciemiewicz GROUP ... ALL and GROUP ... BY produce an alias "group". Pig produces a syntax error if you attempt to ORDER ... BY group. This does seem like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. The workaround is to create an alias for group using an AS clause. But I think this workaround should be unnecessary. Here's sample code which elicits the syntax error: {code} A = load 'one.txt' using PigStorage as (one: int); B = group A all; C = foreach B generate group, COUNT(A) as count; D = order C by group parallel 1; -- group is one of the aliases in C, why does this throw a syntax error? dump D; {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
