George P. Stathis updated PIG-1596: ----------------------------------- Attachment: null_hbase_records.patch > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
