If I define and set tuple like this:

Tuple t1 = mTupleFactory.newTuple(2);
t1.set(0, "Hello");
t1.set(1, NULL);

and have schema like:

b:bag{t:tuple(a:chararray, b:chararray)

and then in the pig script if I do:

page = foreach B generate b;

What should be expected outcome? Would "generate" convert NULL into literal
'NULL' as a string? Or does it skip over that NULL.

Any help would be appreciated. I'll also write something shortly and see
what happens.

Hi Mohit,
          it won't convert into string literal 'NULL' since its a tuple you'll see results like
('Hello',)

Thanks! Does "generate" skip over that? if I did b = for B generate $1 what
should be expected outcome of alias "b"

from your schema b:bag{t:tuple(a:chararray, b:chararray)}
your tuple is inside a bag so on the next line if you are trying to access through $1 pig will
throw up an error saying non-existent column.
but if your question is about accessing b than it will print empty () if the there is no value present (as you are setting it as null).

sorry, yes my question was about accessing b not $1. What's the effect of
writing empty() to a file. Say if I did store b into temp then should I
expect a line or nothing gets writen at all in the file.

It will be easier if you have some sample data and run it through grunt shell.
Lets say you have a dataset like this
({(1,)})
({(3,)})
({(5,10)})
({(7,)})

some of them are nulls in your "b" and some rows has values for "b"
and if you do a "generate" for above it will run through each row
and try to fetch values for b if there is none it will do ()
something like this

({()})
({()})
({(10)})
({()})

So I did this. I took your example and put it in a file and ran some pig
commands through grunt but I am getting same results from a bag and
generating from tuple. I might be doing something wrong here.

grunt> A = LOAD '/user/apuser/test/data1' AS b:bag{t:tuple(a:chararray,
b:chararray)};
grunt> dump A;
2013-03-07 14:55:25,125 [main] INFO
org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.util.MapRedUtil - Total input
paths to process : 1
({(1,)})
({(3,)})
({(5,10)})
({(7,)})

grunt> b = foreach A generate b;
grunt> dump b;
2013-03-07 14:57:59,509 [main] INFO
org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.util.MapRedUtil - Total input
paths to process : 1
({(1,)})
({(3,)})
({(5,10)})
({(7,)})
grunt>

I get the same output again.

Mohit,
   A = LOAD '/user/apuser/test/data1' AS b:bag{
you are naming your data bag as b.
if you want to refer values inside the data bag try b.a or b.b.
The sample data I gave you is something random if you are trying to skip over nulls
you can do so by using Filter.
Take a look at http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.11.0/
