Hi Alan,
Thanks for your reply.
I am trying to understand how Pig processes these relations. As I mentioned, my
UDF returns the result in the following format;
{(id1,x,y,z), (id2, a, b, c), (id3,x,a)} /* User 1 info */
{(id10,x,y,z), (id9, a, b, c), (id1,x,a)} /* User 2 info */
{(id8,x,y,z), (id4, a, b, c), (id2,x,a)} /* User 3 info */
{(id6,x,y,z), (id6, a, b, c), (id9,x,a)} /* User 4 info */
B = foreach A { /* Each element in A is a bag. This will apply the following on
each element within A that is each bag. */ Is this correct?
B1 = order A by $0; -- order on the id /*What does this A refer to? Does it
refer to it to each Bag of relationship A ? I get the following error:
expression is not a project expression:
/* rest of the code */
}
Thanks for your help.
