Class BagToTuple

java.lang.Object

org.apache.pig.EvalFunc<Tuple>

org.apache.pig.builtin.BagToTuple

public class BagToTuple
extends EvalFunc<Tuple>

Flatten a bag into a tuple. This UDF performs only flattening at the first level, it doesn't recursively flatten nested bags. Example: {(a),(b),(c)} --> (a,b,c) {(a,b), (c,d), (e,f)} --> (a,b,c,d,e,f); If input bag is null, this UDF will return null;

Method Detail

exec

public Tuple exec(Tuple inputTuple)
           throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: EvalFunc

This callback method must be implemented by all subclasses. This is the method that will be invoked on every Tuple of a given dataset. Since the dataset may be divided up in a variety of ways the programmer should not make assumptions about state that is maintained between invocations of this method.

Specified by:

exec in class EvalFunc<Tuple>

Parameters:

inputTuple - the Tuple to be processed.

Returns:

result, of type T.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

outputSchema

public Schema outputSchema(Schema inputSchema)

Description copied from class: EvalFunc

Report the schema of the output of this UDF. Pig will make use of this in error checking, optimization, and planning. The schema of input data to this UDF is provided.

The default implementation interprets the OutputSchema annotation, if one is present. Otherwise, it returns null (no known output schema).

Overrides:

outputSchema in class EvalFunc<Tuple>

Parameters:

inputSchema - Schema of the input

Returns:

Schema of the output

allowCompileTimeCalculation

public boolean allowCompileTimeCalculation()

Description copied from class: EvalFunc

Whether the UDF should be evaluated at compile time if all inputs are constant. This is applicable for most UDF, however, if a UDF will access hdfs file which is not available at compile time, it has to be false

Overrides:

allowCompileTimeCalculation in class EvalFunc<Tuple>

Returns:

Whether or not compile time calculation is allowed, default to false to ensure legacy UDF will get the right behavior
