> I have  a Pig script which tries to display all bags which are greater than the average value in the group.
> Input: half.txt
> ===================
> A       1
> A       2
> A       3
> B       1
> B       3
> ====================
> {code}
> A = LOAD 'half.txt' AS (key:CHARARRAY, val:INT);
> B = GROUP A BY key;
> C = FOREACH B {
>        N = AVG(A.val);
>        HALF = FILTER A by val >= N;
>     GENERATE
>        FLATTEN(GROUP),
>        HALF;
> };
> dump C;
> {code}
> ====================
> Expected Output:
> ====================
> (A,{(A,2),(A,3)})
> (B,{(B,3)})
> ====================
> Presently the semantics of the Filter statement inside the FOREACH does not support these types of operations.
> Error when running the above script.
