Pi Song updated PIG-143:
------------------------
Attachment: PostParseValidation_Set2_v2.patch
A new patch. I would say it is 95% done.
- Implementation of all operators except "FOREACH GENERATE".
- Added a workaround to make getType(), getSchema(), getFieldSchema() all work
at the same time. This may need a clean-up later.
- Fixed stack-overflow bug in LOSplit.getSchema()
- Loads of tests
- In-sync with the latest type branch
Committers don't be scared!! This patch looks big because of unit tests. The
actual logic is no more than 1000 lines.
It's good that all the tests also test Logical Operators at the same time.
@Santhosh
Haha. You broke mine. I will break yours next time. That's it.
Could you please add "LogicalOperator input" parameter in LOGenerate? This
should link to the source of data to generate. Remember when you have a
sentinel in innerplan, it has to know where the data comes from.

> h2. Pig Script Parser Refactor Proposal
> This is my initial proposal on pig script parser refactor work. Please note
> that I need your opinions for improvements.
> *Problem*
> The basic concept is around the fact that currently we do validation logics
> in parsing stage (for example, file existence checking) which I think is not
> clean and difficult to add new validation rules. In the future, we will need
> to add more and more validation logics to improve usability.
> *My proposal:-* (see [^ParserDrawing.png])
> - Only keep parsing logic in the parser and leave output of parsing logic
> being unchecked logical plans. (Therefore the parser only does syntactic
> checking)
> - Create a new class called LogicalPlanValidationManager which is responsible
> for validations of the AST from the parser.
> - A new validation logic will be subclassing LogicalPlanValidator
> - We can chain a set of LogicalPlanValidators inside
> LogicalPlanValidationManager to do validation work. This allows a new
> LogicalPlanValidator to be added easily like a plug-in.
> - This greatly promotes modularity of the validation logics which is
> +particularly good when we have a lot of people working on different things+
> (eg. streaming may require a special validation logic)
> - We can set the execution order of validators
> - There might be some backend specific validations needed when we implement
> new execution engines (For example a logical operation that one backend can
> do but others can't). We can plug-in this kind of validations on-the-fly
> based on the backend in use.
> *List of LogicalPlanValidators extracted from the current parser logic:-*
> - File existence validator
> - Alias existence validator
> *Logics possibly be added in the very near future:-*
> - Streaming script test execution
> - Type checking + casting promotion + type inference
> - Untyped plan test execution
> - Logic to prevent reading and writing from/to the same file
> The common way to implement a LogicalPlanValidator will be based on Visitor
> pattern.
> *Cons:-*
> - By having every validation logic traversing AST from the root node every
> time, there is a performance hit. However I think this is neglectable due to
> the fact that Pig is very expressive and normally queries aren't too big (99%
> of queries contain no more than 1000 AST nodes).
> *Next Step:-*
> LogicalPlanFinalizer which is also a pipeline except that each stage can
> modify the input AST. This component will generally do a kind of global
> optimizations.
> *Further ideas:-*
> - Composite visitor can make validations more efficient in some cases but I
> don't think we need
> - ASTs within the pipeline never change (read-only) so validations can be
> done in parallel to improve responsiveness. But again I don't think we need
> this unless we have so many I/O bound logics.
> - The same pipeline concept can also be applied in physical plan
> validation/optimization.
