PigStorage interpreting chararray/bytearray for a tuple element inside a bag as float or double -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1031 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1031 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Components: impl Affects Versions: 0.5.0 Reporter: Viraj Bhat Fix For: 0.5.0, 0.6.0 I have a data stored in a text file as: {(4153E765)} {(AF533765)} I try reading it using PigStorage as: {code} A = load 'pigstoragebroken.dat' using PigStorage() as (intersectionBag:bag{T:tuple(term:bytearray)}); dump A; {code} I get the following results: {code} ({(Infinity)}) ({(AF533765)}) {code} The problem seems to be with the method: parseFromBytes(byte[] b) in class Utf8StorageConverter. This method uses the TextDataParser (class generated via jjt) to interpret the type of data from content, even though the schema tells it is a bytearray. TextDataParser.jjt sample code {code} TOKEN : { ... < DOUBLENUMBER: (["-","+"])? <FLOATINGPOINT> ( ["e","E"] ([ "-","+"])? <FLOATINGPOINT> )?> < FLOATNUMBER: <DOUBLENUMBER> (["f","F"])? > ... } {code} I tried the following options, but it will not work as we need to call bytesToBag(byte[] b) in the Utf8StorageConverter class. {code} A = load 'pigstoragebroken.dat' using PigStorage() as (intersectionBag:bag{T:tuple(term)}); A = load 'pigstoragebroken.dat' using PigStorage() as (intersectionBag:bag{T:tuple(term:chararray)}); {code} Viraj -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
