[jira] Resolved: (PIG-656) Use of eval word in the package
hierarchy of a UDF causes parse exception
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-656?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Olga Natkovich resolved PIG-656.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
eval is a reserved word in pig.
> Use of eval word in the package hierarchy of a UDF causes parse exception
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-656
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-656
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation, grunt
> Affects Versions: types_branch
> Reporter: Viraj Bhat
> Fix For: types_branch
>
> Attachments: mywordcount.txt, TOKENIZE.jar
>
>
> Consider a Pig script which does something similar to a word count. It uses the built-in TOKENIZE function, but packages it inside a class hierarchy such as "mypackage.eval"
> {code}
> register TOKENIZE.jar
> my_src = LOAD '/user/viraj/mywordcount.txt' USING PigStorage('\t') AS (mlist: chararray);
> modules = FOREACH my_src GENERATE FLATTEN(mypackage.eval.TOKENIZE(mlist));
> describe modules;
> grouped = GROUP modules BY $0;
> describe grouped;
> counts = FOREACH grouped GENERATE COUNT(modules), group;
> ordered = ORDER counts BY $0;
> dump ordered;
> {code}
> The parser complains:
> ===========================================================================================================================
> 2009-02-05 01:17:29,231 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 1000: Error during parsing. Invalid alias: mypackage in {mlist: chararray}
> ===========================================================================================================================
> I looked at the following source code at (src/org/apache/pig/impl/logicalLayer/parser/QueryParser.jjt) and it seems that : EVAL is a keyword in Pig. Here are some clarifications:
> 1) Is there documentation on what the EVAL keyword actually is?
> 2) Is EVAL keyword actually implemented?
