Hi,
I've added a condition in my pig script which shall use in case A field x and 
in case B field y.

Something like:
(Schema.Version == 1 ? Field.x : Field.y) AS SomeField

The intention was to make my pig script future safe, because with the next 
schema (version != 1) the new "Field.y" is added and shall be used. When I run 
my script on the data with the "current" schema (version=1), I'm getting the 
following exception:

pig script failed to validate: 
org.apache.pig.impl.logicalLayer.FrontendException: ERROR 1128: Cannot find 
field y in …

Unfortunately it looks like pig is validating every field, even if it's not 
used/called?!

Thanks in advance!
Nebo
