Getting contents of DFS file into Python variable | Embedding PigLatin Python

[de...@wipro.com]

Hi All,

I want to read the contents of a small file lying on the dfs into a Python Variable. This will allow me to make some decisions on the Python Program that contains embedded PIG Statements.

The file on the DFS - "testfile.txt" is a small one, containing 2-3 lines.

testfile = "/path/in/dfs/testfile.txt"
contents = Pig.fs("cat "+testfile)
print contents


Regards,
Deepak
