COUNT sometimes returning a float value?
I have been getting strange errors in my pig script and narrowed it down a bit and found that when I do a COUNT, sometimes it returns a float, but most of the time it returns a long. Some example output of the result column that came from a COUNT is below. Any reason why this would happen?
The error that started me down this path was in my next step, I cast the count value as a chararray and it gives the error "java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Float cannot be cast to java.lang.Long" which made no sense to me since we weren't casting anything in our script to a long.

Re: COUNT sometimes returning a float value?
Posted by Jeremy Hanna <je...@gmail.com>.
I looked at previous outputs and saw that both bags of attributes 5 and 6 are currently empty for all records - which is expected because we're working with data that doesn't yet have those. So it might be choking on handling that case. The COUNT values that return 0 and 0.0 are for attr6_bag - "COUNT(records_with_attr6s.record_key) AS attr6_count,"
Here is the part of the script that produces the count:
records_clean = FOREACH records GENERATE
record_key, type, snapshot_id,
(attr1_id is null ? -1 : attr1_id) AS attr1_id,
(attr2_id is null ? -1 : attr2_id) AS attr2_id,
(attr3_id is null ? -1 : attr3_id) AS attr3_id,
(attr4_id is null ? -1 : attr4_id) AS attr4_id,
attr5_bag,
attr6_bag;
records_with_attr5s = FILTER records_clean BY NOT(IsEmpty(attr5_bag));
records_with_attr6s = FILTER records_clean BY NOT(IsEmpty(attr6_bag));
records_by_account = COGROUP records_clean BY
(snapshot_id, type, attr1_id, attr2_id, attr3_id, attr4_id),
records_with_attr5s BY (snapshot_id, type, attr1_id, attr2_id, attr3_id, attr4_id),
records_with_attr6s BY (snapshot_id, type, attr1_id, attr2_id, attr3_id, attr4_id) PARALLEL 4;
raw_result = FOREACH records_by_account GENERATE
FLATTEN(STRSPLIT(group.snapshot_id, ':', 2)) AS (account_temp, bucket_temp),
group.type,
group.attr1_id,
group.attr2_id,
group.attr3_id,
group.attr4_id,
COUNT(records_clean.record_key) AS total_count,
COUNT(records_with_attr5s.record_key) AS attr5_count,
COUNT(records_with_attr6s.record_key) AS attr6_count,
(float) COUNT(records_with_attr5s.record_key) / (float) COUNT(records_clean.record_key) AS attr5_percent,
(float) COUNT(records_with_attr6s.record_key) / (float) COUNT(records_clean.record_key) AS attr6_percent;
and the full stack trace:

Re: COUNT sometimes returning a float value?
Posted by Thejas M Nair <te...@yahoo-inc.com>.
This is strange. Looking at COUNT code, there does not seem to be anyway it could return a float.
Do you have some example data/query that can be used to reproduce this ?
Can you paste the entire stacktrace of the ClassCastException ?
Do you have something like a bincond which might be returning different results for different rows ?
