Russell, you could use PigWarning to report counters http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.9.1/api/org/apache/pig/PigWarning.html This should display as counters on the JobTracker, please make sure you have "aggregate.warning" set to true (by default it is true, but just in case)
try { //foo bar } catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException ie) { String msg = "Some message"; warn(msg + " --> " + ie.toString(), PigWarning.UDF_WARNING_2); return null; } catch (NullPointerException npe) { warn(npe.toString(), PigWarning.UDF_WARNING_3); return null; } catch (ClassCastException cce) { warn(cce.toString(), PigWarning.UDF_WARNING_4); return null; } On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 6:01 PM, Russell Jurney <russell.jur...@gmail.com>wrote: > Is there a way to report the records we null through counters or something? > > On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 5:22 PM, Dmitriy Ryaboy <dvrya...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Try / catch / return null seems like the exactly right thing to do. > > You will not a lot of string parsing UDFs in piggybank work that way. > > > > On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 3:27 PM, Russell Jurney <russell.jur...@gmail.com > > >wrote: > > > > > I just had to copy CustomFormatToISO and create > > ForgivingCustomFormatToISO > > > that does a try/catch/return null, because 0.01% of my records have bad > > > RFC1123 dates in them.
