Method Detail

exec

public String exec(Tuple input)
            throws IOException

Deprecated.

Method invoked on every tuple during foreach evaluation

Specified by:

exec in class EvalFunc<String>

Parameters:

input - tuple; first column is assumed to have the column to convert

Returns:

result, of type T.

Throws:

IOException

outputSchema

public Schema outputSchema(Schema input)

Deprecated.

This method gives a name to the column.

Overrides:

outputSchema in class EvalFunc<String>

Parameters:

input - - schema of the input data

Returns:

schema of the input data

getArgToFuncMapping

                                   throws FrontendException

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: EvalFunc

Allow a UDF to specify type specific implementations of itself. For example, an implementation of arithmetic sum might have int and float implementations, since integer arithmetic performs much better than floating point arithmetic. Pig's typechecker will call this method and using the returned list plus the schema of the function's input data, decide which implementation of the UDF to use.

Overrides:

getArgToFuncMapping in class EvalFunc<String>

Returns:

A List containing FuncSpec objects representing the EvalFunc class which can handle the inputs corresponding to the schema in the objects. Each FuncSpec should be constructed with a schema that describes the input for that implementation. For example, the sum function above would return two elements in its list:

1. FuncSpec(this.getClass().getName(), new Schema(new Schema.FieldSchema(null, DataType.DOUBLE)))
2. FuncSpec(IntSum.getClass().getName(), new Schema(new Schema.FieldSchema(null, DataType.INTEGER)))

This would indicate that the main implementation is used for doubles, and the special implementation IntSum is used for ints.

Throws:

FrontendException
