NPE's thrown when attempting to load hbase columns containing null values
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1596
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1596
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Bug
Components: data
Affects Versions: 0.7.0
Reporter: George P. Stathis
Fix For: 0.8.0, 0.9.0
Attachments: null_hbase_records.patch
I'm not a committer, but I'd like to suggest the attached patch to handle
loading hbase rows containing null cell values (since hbase is all about
sparsly populated data rows). As it stands, a DataByteArray can be created with
a null mData if a cell has no value, which causes NPEs by simply attempting to
load a row containing the null cell in question.
PS: the attached patch also contains a slight change to the bin/pig executable
to point to the build/pig-*-SNAPSHOT.jar and not the build/pig-*-dev.jar (the
latter no longer seems to exist). If you prefer a separate patch for this, I'll
be happy to submit it.
