[Zebra] No type check when we write to the basic table ------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1351 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1351 Project: Pig Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 0.6.0, 0.7.0, 0.8.0 Reporter: Chao Wang Assignee: Chao Wang Fix For: 0.8.0 In Zebra, we do not have any type check when writing to a basic table. Say, we have a schema: "f1:int, f2:string", however we can write a tuple ("abc", 123) without any problem, which is definitely not desirable. To overcome this problem, we decide to perform certain amount of type checking in Zebra - We check the first row only for each writer. This only serves as a sanity check purpose in cases where users screw up specifying the output schema. We do NOT perform a rigorous type checking for all rows for apparently performance concerns. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
