removing bad data from a data file using pig - hadoop

Question

I have a data file like this
1943 49 1
1975 91 L
1903 56 3
1909 52 3
1953 96 3
1912 82
1976 66 3
1913 35
1990 45 1
1927 92 A
1912 2
1924 22
1971 2
1959 94 E
now using pig script I want to remove the bad data like removing those rows which have characters and empty fields
I tried this way
records = load '/user/a106524609/test.txt' using PigStorage(' ') as
(year:chararray, temperature:int, quality:int);
rec1 = filter records by temperature != 'null' and (quality != 'null ')

Answer 1

Load it as lines
A = load 'data.txt' using PigStorage('\n') as (line:chararray);
Split on all whitespaces
B = FOREACH A GENERATE FLATTEN(STRSPLIT(line, '\\s+')) as (year:int,temp:int,quality:chararray);
Filter by valid strings
C = FILTER B BY quality IN ('0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9');
(Optionally) Cast to an int
D = FOREACH C GENERATE year,temp,(int)quality;
In Spark, I would start with a regex match of the expected format.
val cleanRows = sc.textFile("data.txt")
.filter(line => line.matches("(?:\\d+\\s+){2}\\d+"))
