Alan Gates commented on PIG-278:
--------------------------------

+1 on the work around for having no alias.  I'd like to have Santhosh look at the changes to Schema.java.

> Our schema parser doesn't allow "null" alias but we have to be able to do that in Dot test files.
> This is a work around by introducing "[NoAlias]" keyword in schema definition just for Dot LogicalPlanLoader.
> Sample:-
> {noformat}
> foreach [  key="20", type="LOForEach" , schema="[NoAlias] : long, [NoAlias] : byteArray"    ] ;
> {noformat}
> At runtime, [NoAlias] will be substituted by dummy column names before being sent to the parser. Subsequently those names will be replaced by "null". There is no changes in the actual query parser.
