[jira] [Commented] (PIG-2020) Valid query fails to validate

["Xuefu Zhang (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2020?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13027158#comment-13027158 ] 

Xuefu Zhang commented on PIG-2020:
----------------------------------

After some discussion, it's found that the real problem is that Pig didn't automatically cast $0 to a bag type, which it should. $1 and $2 are referring to fields in the bag.

This behavior is inconsistent with other types because we insert type casting for other types.

The error message is confusing too, because the bag's schema is unknown rather than of size 1.

> The following query seems valid:
> A = load 'x';
> B = foreach A { T = filter $0 by $1 > $2; generate T; };
> Store B into 'y';
> However, the query fails due to validation error in 0.8:
> 2011-04-28 09:08:06,846 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 1026: Attempt to fetch field 1 from schema of size 1
> Similar error is given in 0.9.
