Richard Ding commented on PIG-1188: ----------------------------------- Actually, Pig is already padding nulls to the input tuple according to input schema (with data types): For example, given Pig script: {code} a = load '1.txt' as (a0:int, a1:int); dump a; {code} and input file: {code} 1 2 1 2 3 1 {code} The result is {code} (1,2) (1,2) (1, null) {code} > Padding nulls to the input tuple according to input schema > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1188 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1188 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Components: impl > Affects Versions: 0.6.0 > Reporter: Daniel Dai > Assignee: Richard Ding > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > > Currently, the number of fields in the input tuple is determined by the data. > When we have schema, we should generate input data according to the schema, > and padding nulls if necessary. Here is one example: > Pig script: > {code} > a = load '1.txt' as (a0, a1); > dump a; > {code} > Input file: > {code} > 1 2 > 1 2 3 > 1 > {code} > Current result: > {code} > (1,2) > (1,2,3) > (1) > {code} > Desired result: > {code} > (1,2) > (1,2) > (1, null) > {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
