Hi All,

I have a use case to get the get N distinct url's based on the number of
hits and their latest timestamp. Pls find below the snippet of the pig
script that I have written to do this.

prunedUrlData = FOREACH urlPatternData GENERATE (url_pattern is
null?url:url_pattern) AS
url,domid,urlkey,urllen,puid,nwid,lmd,rc,punam,nwnam,ispub,com.xxx.GetDomainStorageLimit(nwid)
AS *domainlimit*;

group_by_Domain_Url = GROUP prunedUrlData BY domid;

rankedUrlByDomain = FOREACH group_by_Domain_Url
{
distinct_url = DISTINCT prunedUrlData;
url_rank_dom = ORDER distinct_url BY lmd DESC,rc DESC;
url_domain_limit = LIMIT url_rank_dom *domainlimit*;
GENERATE FLATTEN(url_domain_limit);
};


The only problem that I have now is the domainlimit variable that I'm
passing to the LIMIT statement @ runtime. I'm getting the following
exception :

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to evaluate Limit expression: NULL

If I use a constant for the LIMIT, it works fine. I printed the
"group_by_Domain_Url" to see if i'm getting the domainlimit, and I'm
able to see a value.

But when i apply it to LIMIT, it says "Unable to evaluate Limit
expression: NULL". Where am I going wrong?
