Jeremy Hanna updated CASSANDRA-2658:
------------------------------------
Description:
We currently do a lot with pig + cassandra, but one thing I've found is that
currently it's very touchy with data that comes from Cassandra for some reason.
For example, if I try to a SUM of data that has not been validated as an
LongType in Cassandra, it borks. See this schema script for Cassandra -
https://github.com/jeromatron/pygmalion/blob/master/cassandra/example_data.txt
- and remove the validation on the num_heads data type and try to SUM that over
the data and it gives data type errors. (It breaks with the num_heads
validation removed and with or without the default_validation class being set.)
We currently do analysis over data that is either just String (UTF8) data or
that we have validated, so it works for us. However, I've seen a couple of
people trying to use Cassandra with Pig that have had issues because of this.
One of the tenets of pig is that it will eat anything and it kind of goes
against this if the load/store somehow interferes with that. So in essence, I
think this is a big deal for those wanting to use pig with cassandra in the
ways that pig is normally used.
