Hi folks,

I have been experimenting with the PigStorageWithInputPath example (see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PIG/FAQ#FAQ-Q%3AIloaddatafromadirectorywhichcontainsdifferentfile.HowdoIfindoutwherethedatacomesfrom%3F)
and it compiles.

However when I instantiate it like PigStorageWithInputPath(' ') in Grunt I
get the following error:

could not instantiate 'PigStorageWithInputPath' with arguments '[ ]'. I
have also tried supplying '\s' and '\\s' but it doesn't work. I don't fully
understand why this happens as PigStorage(' ') does work
and PigStorageWithInputPath does not change the instantiation of the class
(AFAICT). I am using Hive 0.9.2

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Best,

Diederik

Hi Diederik,

I assume that you're using the example code in the wiki page? If so, you
need to add a constructor that takes arguments to your  UDF. The reason why
PigStorage works with arguments is because it has the following constructor:

    public PigStorage(String delimiter) {
        this();
        fieldDel = StorageUtil.parseFieldDel(delimiter);
    }

But this constructor is not inherited by PigStorageWithInputPath even
though it extends PigStorage.

Thanks,
Cheolsoo
