Pig internally uses java integer to store integer value, so Integer.MAX_VALUE should be max value you can put for an integer in the script.
As a side note, Pig has long type as well. --Xuefu -----Original Message----- From: souri datta [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 28, 2011 3:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: max integer allowed? Hi All, Could not find any proper documentation for it.Can someone please let me know what is the maximum integer supported in Pig scripts? (something like Integer.MAX_VALUE) Will it be version dependent? I found this link http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/ref/rrefsqlj30435.html and used this max. value in a pig script and it worked.But want to confirm. Thanks, Souri
