Using IN clause with PIG FILTER

Does PIG support IN clause?

filtered = FILTER bba BY reason not in ('a','b开发者_如何学Python','c','d');

or should i split it up into multiple OR's?

Thanks!

You can use below udf from Apache DataFu instead. This will help you to avoid writing lot of OR.

Pig 0.12 added In operator http://www.edureka.co/blog/operators-in-apache-pig-diagnostic-operators/ see bottom of page..release notes. Haven't located it in official docs (apart from bare mention in release notes)

I didn't find it in any of the samples in the documentation.

You can get by using AND/OR/NOT

No, Pig doesn't support IN Clause. I had a similar situation. Though you can use AND operator and filter keyword as a work around. like

A= LOAD 'source.txt' AS (user:chararray, age:chararray);

B= FILTER A BY ($1 matches 'tapan') AND ($1 matches 'superman');

However, if the number of filtering required is huge. Then, probably, you can just create a relation that contains all these keywords and do a join to filter wherever the occurrence matches. Hope this helps.

We can use IN clause as follows:

A = FILTER alias_name BY col_name IN (val1, val2,...,valn);

DUMP A;

you can do this likes:

X = FILTER bba BY NOT reason IN ('a','b','c','d');
