This is most likely because you haven't defined the outputSchema method of
the UDF. The AS keyword merges the schema generated by the UDF with the
user specified schema. If the UDF does not override the method and specify
the output schema, it is considered null and you will not be able to use AS
to override the schema.
Out of curiosity, if each one of your small files describes a user, is
there any reason why you can't use a database (e.g. HBase) to store this
information? It seems like any file based storage may not be the best
solution given my extremely limited knowledge of your problem domain.
