[jira] [Commented] (PIG-2315) Make as clause work in generate

["Gianmarco De Francisci Morales (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2315?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13133991#comment-13133991 ] 

Gianmarco De Francisci Morales commented on PIG-2315:
-----------------------------------------------------

What is the desired solution?
To make the aforementioned syntax work as a cast or to allow only explicit casting?
E.g.
{code}
A1 = foreach A1 generate (chararray) a;
{code}

> Currently, the following syntax is supported and ignored causing confusing with users:
> A1 = foreach A1 generate a as a:chararray ;
> After this statement a just retains its previous type
