Local Vars in FOREACH

[Andreas Paepcke]

Hi,

I'm confused by the following:


foo = FOREACH bar {
              theSize = COUNT(something);
              GENERATE mypack.myfunc(theSize);
              }

It seems that 'theSize' does not get typed, leading
to "java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to
org.apache.pig.data.DataBag"

When I replace 'theSize' in the myfunc() call
with a number (which myFunc() expects), all
works well. myFunc() gets called.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks!

Andreas
