[jira] [Commented] (PIG-1974) Lineage need to set for every cast

["Daniel Dai (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1974?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13016705#comment-13016705 ] 

Daniel Dai commented on PIG-1974:
---------------------------------

The issue is because lineage only set caster if the input data type is bytearray. However, if it is complex data type, we need to cast inner bytearray to real type, we still rely on caster. So we need to set caster as well.

> The following script does not cast correctly:
> {code}
> a = load '1.txt' as (m:map[]);
> b = foreach a generate (map[chararray])m;
> dump b;
> {code}
> Pig throw warning that it cannot cast (map[chararray]) because caster is null.
