public class Stitch
extends EvalFunc<DataBag>

Given a set of bags, stitch them together tuple by tuple. That is, assuming the bags have row numbers join them by row number. So given two bags

{(1, 2), (3, 4)} and

{(5, 6), (7, 8)} the result will be

{(1, 2, 5, 6), (3, 4, 7, 8)} In general it is assumed that each bag has the same number of tuples. The implementation uses the first bag to determine the number of tuples placed in the output. If bags beyond the first have fewer tuples then the resulting tuples will have fewer fields. Nulls will not be filled in.

Any number of bags can be passed to this function.

Method Detail

exec

public DataBag exec(Tuple input)
             throws 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<DataBag>

Parameters:

input - the Tuple to be processed.

Returns:

result, of type T.

Throws:

IOException

outputSchema

public Schema outputSchema(Schema inputSch)

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<DataBag>

Parameters:

inputSch - Schema of the input

Returns:

Schema of the output
