Dear all,

We are using thrift and elephant-bird to store our logs. And I wanted to
use some UDF to do complex processing on a single record, so I write some
pig like the following:

========================================================raw_data = load '$INPUT' using
com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.load.LzoThriftBlockPigLoader('$CLASSNAME')

A = FOREACH raw_data GENERATE com.udf.SomeUDF(raw_data);
B = LIMIT A 10;
DUMP B;
========================================================
But the pig will told me " ERROR 1000: Error during parsing. Scalars can be
only used with projections"

Is there anyway I could run a UDF on the raw_data here?
Best wishes,
Stanley Xu

try something like:
    raw_data = load ....... as record;

    ...... com.udf.SomeUDF(record)

or you can describe raw_data to check the schema.

Try explicit totuple function

BTW: http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.10.0/basic.html has next example:
C = FOREACH A GENERATE name, age, MyUDF(*);
Looks like right what you need.

Thanks all, looks I need to upgrade to pig0.10 since UDF(*) looks not
supported in 0.8.1

Best wishes,
