Hi Eli,
I tried to reproduce your problem. What I found is that the behavior is
different when using Grunt shell and running it as a script.
* Input file *
cheolsoo@localhost:~/workspace/pig-svn $cat 1.txt
$id,a
* Grunt shell *
The $ with no backslash works:
grunt> A = LOAD '1.txt' USING PigStorage(',') AS (k:chararray, v:chararray);
grunt> B = FOREACH A GENERATE TOMAP(k, v) AS M;
grunt> C = FOREACH B GENERATE M#'$id';
grunt> DUMP C;
(a)
* Script *
The $ with a single backslash works:
cheolsoo@localhost:~/workspace/pig-svn $cat test.pig
A = LOAD '1.txt' USING PigStorage(',') AS (k:chararray, v:chararray);
B = FOREACH A GENERATE TOMAP(k, v) AS M;
C = FOREACH B GENERATE M#'\$id';
DUMP C;
cheolsoo@localhost:~/workspace/pig-svn $./bin/pig -x local test.pig
(a)
Please let me know if you see different results.
Thanks,
Cheolsoo
