Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-1513: ------------------------------------- Are we sure that the problem only occurs with skewed join? I would like to make this JIRA more generic and to make sure that pig returns empty results given empty input and short circuits the processing as early as possible > Skewed join doesn't handle empty input directory > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: PIG-1513 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1513 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Richard Ding > Assignee: Richard Ding > Fix For: 0.8.0 > > > The following script > {code} > A = load 'input'; > B = load 'emptydir'; > C = join B by $0, A by $0 using 'skewed'; > dump C > {code} > fails with "ERROR: java.lang.RuntimeException: Empty samples file'; > In this case, the sample job has 0 maps. Pig doesn't expect this and fails . -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
