Jonathan Holloway commented on PIG-1896:
----------------------------------------

I think this has been superseded by Loadcaster and convertToType.  Should prob be closed.

> I ran into an issue with parsing log lines whereby I had to generate a schema in a user defined function.  Part of that involved converting various values into their associated data types, but I couldn't see a way to do it via Pig.  
> Enclosed is a patch to convert org.apache.pig.data.DataType into an associated Java datatype falling back to a String by default - should go into CastUtils.  Any comments/criticism, please let me know.
