pig 的chararry不能用于比较的类型可以comparison operator

pig 的chararry类型可以是由场，通过现场实地比较。

element_id 这是chararray种类。

声明：

no_app_category_mapping = filter no_element_id by element_id == '' or element_id is null or element_id == '0' or element_id >='14';

当中，element_id >='14'是错误的使用方法。

comparison operator不能操作chararray类型。

运行结果是 element_id为8 的被找出来了。‘8’>='14'。非常奇怪啊！

而改成 element_id <='14'时。再运行时。

运行结果找到了element_id =‘1’和element_id =‘11’的，说明不行。

原理：预计是升级为bytearray，然后，按字段比較，逐个字段，所以，8>1。而1同样时。1<4

所以11小于14。而8大于14.

pig官网有说明：貌似仅仅能用==和！=。两边不一致是。implicit cast支持从低到高，不支持高到低。

例如以下：

Comparison Operators

Description

Operator	Symbol	Notes
equal	==
not equal	!=
less than	<
greater than	>
less than or equal to	<=
greater than or equal to	>=
pattern matching	matches	Takes an expression on the left and a string constant on the right. expression matches string-constant Use the Java format for regular expressions.

Use the comparison operators with numeric and string data.

Examples

Numeric Example

X = FILTER A BY (f1 == 8);

String Example

X = FILTER A BY (f2 == 'apache');

Matches Example

X = FILTER A BY (f1 matches '.*apache.*');

Note 1: boolean (Tuple A is equal to tuple B if they have the same size s, and for all 0 <= i < s A[i] == B[i])

Note 2: boolean (Map A is equal to map B if A and B have the same number of entries, and for every key k1 in A with a value of v1, there is a key k2 in B with a value of v2, such that k1 == k2 and v1 == v2)
