org.apache.pig.piggybank.evaluation.string.Stuff

public class Stuff
extends EvalFunc<java.lang.String>

Given a string, this UDF replaces a substring given its starting index and length with the given replacement string. If the the last argument is null, the specified part of the string gets deleted. B = FOREACH A GENERATE Stuff($0, 10, 4, 'Pie') If $0 is "Chocolate Cake" then the UDF will return "Chocolate Pie"

exec

public java.lang.String exec(Tuple input)
                      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<java.lang.String>

Parameters:

input - the Tuple to be processed.

Returns:

result, of type T.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

outputSchema

public Schema outputSchema(Schema input)

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<java.lang.String>

Parameters:

input - , schema of the input data

Returns:

output schema
