I have two load statements A and B.
In each one I have a surrogate key. I want to match the surrogate key columns if both keys will match the stored data.
I tried the following code.
A = LOAD 'a/data/' using PigStorage('\t') as (SourceWebSite:chararray,PropertyID:chararray,ListedOn:chararray,ContactName:chararray,TotalViews:int,Price:chararray);
B = LOAD 'b/data/' using PigStorage('\t') as (SourceWebsite:chararray,PropertyType:chararray,IPLSNO:int,Locality:chararray,City:chararray,Price:chararray);
C = COGROUP A BY Price, B BY Price;
D = FOREACH C GENERATE FLATTEN((IsEmpty(A) ? null : A)), FLATTEN((IsEmpty(B) ? null : B));
The above command prints all the data.
If I understand it right you would like to have dose data where both A and B has any data for the given price, am I right?
Than you may have to use filter:
D = FILTER C BY (NOT IsEmpty(A) AND NOT IsEmpty(B));
The D will contain those data rows where both A and B has value for the price used to group.
I have simple data loaded in a:
dump a
ahoeh,1,e32
hello,2,10
ho,3
I need to filter out all rows with number of columns/fields different than 3. How to do it?
In other words result should be:
dump results
ahoeh,1,e32
hello,2,10
I know there should be a FILTER built-in function. However I cannot figure out what condition (number of columns =3) should be defined.
Thanks!
Can you try this?
input
ahoeh,1,e32
hello,2,10
ho,3
3,te,0
aa,3,b
y,h,3
3,3,3
3,3,3,1,2,3,3,,,,,,4,44,6
PigScript1:
A = LOAD 'input' AS (line:chararray);
B = FOREACH A GENERATE FLATTEN(STRSPLIT(line,','));
C = FOREACH B GENERATE COUNT(TOBAG(*)),$0..;
D = FILTER C BY $0==3;
E = FOREACH D GENERATE $1..;
DUMP E;
PigScript2:
A = LOAD 'input' USING PigStorage(',');
B = FOREACH A GENERATE COUNT(TOBAG(*)),$0..;
C = FILTER B BY (int)$0==3;
D = FOREACH C GENERATE $1..;
DUMP D;
Output:
(ahoeh,1,e32)
(hello,2,10)
(3,te,0)
(aa,3,b)
(y,h,3)
(3,3,3)

The accepted answer doesn't quite behave as expected if null/empty string is a valid field value; you need to use COUNT_STAR instead of COUNT to count empty/null fields in your schema.
See: https://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.9.1/func.html#count-star
For example, given the following input data:
1,2,3
1,,3
and this Pig script:
a = load 'input' USING PigStorage(',');
counted = foreach a generate COUNT_STAR(TOBAG(*)), $0..;
filtered = filter counted by $0 != 3;
result = foreach filtered generate $1..;
The filtered alias will contain both rows. The difference is that COUNT({(1),(),(3)}) returns 2 while COUNT_STAR({(1),(),(3)}) returns 3.
I see two ways to do this:
First, you can rephrase the filter I think, as it boils down to: Give me all lines that do not contain an NULL value. For lots of columns, writing this filter statement is rather tedious.
Second, you could convert your columns into a bag per line, using TOBAG (http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.12.1/func.html#tobag) and then write a UDF that processes the input bag to check for null tuples in this bag and return true or false and use this in the filter statement.
Either way, some tediousness is required I think.
I would like to get ,what item was bought very recently by each person. Assume that a same person can buy many items.
below are the input details

I wrote a Pig script upto this, but after that i dont know how to proceed,can somebody help me
A = LOAD 'records.txt' USING PigStorage(',') AS(name:chararray,date:chararray,item:chararray);
B = GROUP A BY name;
C = FOREACH B GENERATE group,MAX(A.date);
But i need to get the item that was purchased recently by each person. How do i get that. If i apply GROUP then i am supposed to use only aggregate function in Pig.
How do i get the recepective item that was purchased?
Use bags and order by in a nested foreach, it will use only 1 MR job and is more in Apache Pig style.
A = LOAD 'input.txt' USING PigStorage(',') AS(name:chararray,date:chararray,item:chararray);
B = GROUP A BY name;
C = FOREACH B {
ordered = ORDER A BY date DESC; -- this will cause secondary sort to optimise the execution
latest = LIMIT ordered 1;
GENERATE FLATTEN(latest); - advantage of PIG, that all columns are preserved and not dropped as on SQL group by
};
DUMP C;
Also use of $0, $1 etc is convenient, but imagine you have a script with hundreds of lines and tens of group by and join operations that project using '$', it is nightmare to understand the flow of information/columns though such scripts. Time wasted in maintenance and making changes to such scripts is huge.
I hope this works for you.

PigScript:
A = LOAD 'input.txt' USING PigStorage(',') AS(name:chararray,date:chararray,item:chararray);
B = GROUP A BY name;
C = FOREACH B GENERATE group,FLATTEN(MAX($1.date));
D = JOIN A BY date,C BY $1;
E = FOREACH D GENERATE $0,$1,$2;
DUMP E;

I have a pig script that pertains to 2 Pig relations, lets say A and B. A is a small relationship, and B is a big one. My UDF should load all of A into memory on each machine and then use it while processing B. Currently I do it like this.
A = foreach smallRelation Generate ...
B = foreach largeRelation Generate propertyOfB;
store A into 'templocation';
C = foreach B Generate CustomUdf(propertyOfB);
I then have every machine load from 'templocation' to get A.This works, but I have two problems with it.
My understanding is I should be using the HDFS cache somehow, but I'm not sure how to load a relationship directly into the HDFS cache.
When I reload the file in my UDF I got to write logic to parse the output from A that was outputted to file when I'd rather be directly using bags and tuples (is there a built in Pig java function to parse Strings back into Bag/Tuple form?).
Does anyone know how it should be done?
Here's a trick that will work for you.
You do a GROUP ALL on A first which "bags" all data in A into one field. Then artificially add a common field on both A and B and join them. This way, foreach tuple in the enhanced B, you will have the full data of A for your UDF to use.
It's like this:
(say originally in A, you have fields fa1, fa2, fa3, in B you have fb1, fb2)
-- add an artificial join key with value 'xx'
B_aux = FOREACH B GENERATE 'xx' AS join_key, fb1, fb2;
A_all = GROUP A ALL;
A_aux = FOREACH A GENERATE 'xx' AS join_key, $1;
A_B_JOINED = JOIN B_aux BY join_key, A_aux BY join_key USING 'replicated';
C = FOREACH A_B_JOINED GENERATE CustomUdf(fb1, fb2, A_all);
since this is replicated join, it's also only map-side join.
I have a requirement to propagate field values from one row to another given type of record
for example my raw input is
1,firefox,p
1,,q
1,,r
1,,s
2,ie,p
2,,s
3,chrome,p
3,,r
3,,s
4,netscape,p
the desired result
1,firefox,p
1,firefox,q
1,firefox,r
1,firefox,s
2,ie,p
2,ie,s
3,chrome,p
3,chrome,r
3,chrome,s
4,netscape,p
I tried
A = LOAD 'file1.txt' using PigStorage(',') AS (id:int,browser:chararray,type:chararray);
SPLIT A INTO B IF (type =='p'), C IF (type!='p' );
joined = JOIN B BY id FULL, C BY id;
joinedFields = FOREACH joined GENERATE B::id, B::type, B::browser, C::id, C::type;
dump joinedFields;
the result I got was
(,,,1,p )
(,,,1,q)
(,,,1,r)
(,,,1,s)
(2,p,ie,2,s)
(3,p,chrome,3,r)
(3,p,chrome,3,s)
(4,p,netscape,,)
Any help is appreciated, Thanks.
PIG is not exactly SQL, it is built with data flows, MapReduce and groups in mind (joins are also there). You can get the result using a GROUP BY, FILTER nested in the FOREACH and FLATTEN.
inpt = LOAD 'file1.txt' using PigStorage(',') AS (id:int,browser:chararray,type:chararray);
grp = GROUP inpt BY id;
Result = FOREACH grp {
P = FILTER inpt BY type == 'p'; -- leave the record that contain p for the id
PL = LIMIT P 1; -- make sure there is just one
GENERATE FLATTEN(inpt.(id,type)), FLATTEN(PL.browser); -- convert bags produced by group by back to rows
};
