[jira] [Updated] (PIG-1748) Add load/store function AvroStorage for avro data

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1748?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Russell Jurney updated PIG-1748:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: AvroStorageUtils-bagfix.patch

This patch is a fix for a bug for persisting bags of tuples via AvroStorage.

The script that alerted me to a bug is:

messages = LOAD '/tmp/messages.avro' USING AvroStorage();
user_groups = GROUP messages by user_id;
per_user = FOREACH user_groups {                
    sorted = ORDER messages BY message_id DESC;     
    GENERATE group AS user_id, sorted AS messages;
}
DESCRIBE per_user
> per_user: {user_id: int,messages: {(message_id: int,topic: chararray,user_id: int)}}
STORE per_user INTO '/tmp/per_user.avro' USING AvroStorage();

The error is:

> We want to use Pig to process arbitrary Avro data and store results as Avro files. AvroStorage() extends two PigFuncs: LoadFunc and StoreFunc. 
> Due to discrepancies of Avro and Pig data models, AvroStorage has:
> 1. Limited support for "record": we do not support recursively defined record because the number of fields in such records is data dependent.
> 2. Limited support for "union": we only accept nullable union like ["null", "some-type"].
> For simplicity, we also make the following assumptions:
> If the input directory is a leaf directory, then we assume Avro data files in it have the same schema;
> If the input directory contains sub-directories, then we assume Avro data files in all sub-directories have the same schema.
> AvroStorage takes no input parameters when used as a LoadFunc (except for "debug [debug-level]"). 
> Users can provide parameters to AvroStorage when used as a StoreFunc. If they don't, Avro schema of output data is derived from its 
> Pig schema.
> Detailed documentation can be found in http://linkedin.jira.com/wiki/display/HTOOLS/AvroStorage+-+Pig+support+for+Avro+data
