Thanks. I guess this means the docs have been wrong for two versions? Uhg. Also, ResourceFieldSchema getSchema says only a tuple can have a schema, which is wrong because it seems a bag can have a schema just fine. Apparently map cannot have a schema, but I'm just guessing at this point.
I must say I am very frustrated with the general lack of (and incorrect) documentation for Pig. I understand the project is evolving rapidly, but IMO documentation should not suffer. -Nate -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Dai [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 4:31 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Sweet, Nate Subject: Re: specifying the schema with a LoadFunc It is changed to LoadMetadata.getSchema() starting 0.7.
