I have 3 table to batch input, how to specify the parameter in pig?
for example, tmp/001.csv,tmp/002.csv,tmp/003.csv, in pig script, how could I write the -param and the LOAD statement to input these table in one time?
Some one gives me a example
pig -param nums="'001','002','003'" test.pig
in pig script,
LOAD 'tmp/{nums}.csv' AS ...
But it looks like only 001.csv is read by pig.
You'll most probably need to move the /tmp to the params too:
pig -param ins=/tmp/001.csv,/tmp/002.csv,/tmp/003.csv test.pig
LOAD '${ins}' AS ...
Obviously if you have many files to list (and they all can match a simple glob) then this can be reduced even further:
pig -param ins=/tmp/*.csv test.pig

How can I concatenate a time stamp with the output generated by pig. I need to save the output generated by pig to one more folder with a time stamp so that it can be used as historical data for a future purpose. I tried to use CurrentTime() but it gave me a error like this:
2015-03-31 19:29:58,249 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 1200: <file script.pig, line 1> Cannot expand macro 'CurrentTime'. Reason: Macro must be defined before expansion.
How do I define this macro?
Here is the code :
A = load '/user/root/b2.out';
X = FILTER A BY ($2 == 'Error') OR ($2=='Info') OR ($2=='Warning') OR ($2=='Critical');
D = FOREACH X GENERATE $0,$2,$4,$6,$8;
store D into CONCAT('/user/root/ELABD/finalout',CurrentTime());
CONCAT can only be used inside a relation (aka foreach statement), so you cannot use it to construct an output file location.
Two possible solutions here I think:
Use a %declare statement in your pig script that uses something like date in bash to get current time and use that as parameter, e.g.
%declare DATETIME `date +%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S`
...
store D into '/user/root/ELABD/finalout/$DATETIME';
Alternatively use something like Oozie to schedule your pig jobs and have Oozie generate your output location based on date/time.
I have a hdfs file list of csv files with same format. I need to be able to LOAD them with pig together. Eg:
/path/to/files/2013/01-01/qwe123.csv
/path/to/files/2013/01-01/asd123.csv
/path/to/files/2013/01-01/zxc321.csv
/path/to/files/2013/01-02/ert435.csv
/path/to/files/2013/01-02/fgh987.csv
/path/to/files/2013/01-03/vbn764.csv
They can not be globed as their name is "random" hash and their directories might contain more csv files.
As suggested in other comments, you can do this by pre-processing the file. Suppose your HDFS file is called file_list.txt, then you can do the following:
pig -param flist=`hdfs dfs -cat file_list.txt | awk 'BEGIN{ORS="";}{if (NR == 1) print; else print ","$0;}'` script.pig
The awk code gets rid of the newline characters and uses commas to separate the file names.
In your script (called script.pig in my example), you should use parameter substitution to load the data:
data = LOAD '$flist';
You aren't restricted to globbing. Use this:
LOAD '/path/to/files/2013/01-{01/qwe123,01/asd123,01/zxc321,02/ert435,02/fgh987,03/vbn764}.csv';
I want to pass a filter statement with in my pig script using parameter substitution
For that I have tried
exec -param flt='a1==1 AND a2=2' filterscript.pig
But sadly it is throwing an exception message
ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 101: Local file 'AND' does not exist.
Pig version - 0.9.2
I have tried flt='\'a1==1 AND a2=2\'' and flt="a1==1 AND a2==2" suggested by pig users in apache forum as well as seen a similar post in SO.
Any help will be appreciated
I think you are using the parameter passed as it is as a condition. If so you will get an error like this. Instead you can pass them as separate paarmeters and form the condition string inside the pig script.
exec -p p1=1 -p p2=2 filterscript.pig
Inside your filterscript.pig script you can use these parameter values in condition clauses. For example
a1==$p1 AND a2=$p2
If you run your script outside the grunt shell you can do the followings:
pig -param flt="a1\=\=1 AND a2\=\=2" -f filterscript.pig
where filterscript.pig is something like this:
A = load ...
...
B = filter A by $flt;
...
Note that the '=' is also escaped, otherwise the filter condition won't be evalued to boolean.
If you want to use the filter substitution within the grunt shell as you tried with exec,
then you'll encounter the whitespace problem. Since escaping the whitespace character doesn't work, as a workaround you can create a parameter file :
cat params.txt
flt="a1\=\=1 AND a2\=\=2"
Then issue:
exec -param_file params.txt filterscript.pig
Note: I use Pig 0.12
Is there a way to do this? eg, pass the name of the file to be processed, etc?
This showed up in another question, but you can indicate the input parameter on the command line and use that when you are loading, for example:
Command Line:
pig -f script.pig -param input=somefile.txt
script.pig:
raw = LOAD '$input' AS (...);
Note that if you are using the Amazon Web Services Elastic Map Reduce then the '$input' is what is passed to the script for any input you provide.
You can use ...
1. if there are few parameters then use -param (-p)
2. if there are lot of parameters then use -param_file (-m)
You can use either approach depending on the nature of value of your command line arguments, I use -param when i am developing and testing my scripts. Once pig script is ready for batch processing or running thru crontab, I use -param_file so that if any change required, I can easily update the params.init file.
man pig will show you all available options.
-m, -param_file path to the parameter file
-p, -param key value pair of the form param=val
Here is sample code ...
students.txt (input data)
001,Rajiv,Reddy,21,9848022337,Hyderabad
002,siddarth,Battacharya,22,9848022338,Kolkata

filter.pig
students = LOAD '$fileName' USING PigStorage(',') AS (id:int, firstname:chararray, lastname:chararray, age:int, phone:chararray, city:chararray);
students = FILTER students BY city == '$cityName';
DUMP students;
OPT 1: Using params on command line (-param or -p) & Output
pig -param fileName='hdfs://horton/user/jgosalia/students.txt' -param cityName='Chennai' filter.pig
... Trimming the logs ...
(6,Archana,Mishra,23,9848022335,Chennai)
(8,Bharathi,Nambiayar,24,9848022333,Chennai)
OPT 2: Using params file on command line (-param_file or -m) & Output
pig -param_file params.init filter.pig
... Trimming the logs ...
(6,Archana,Mishra,23,9848022335,Chennai)
(8,Bharathi,Nambiayar,24,9848022333,Chennai)
NOTE: use absolute path for file paths (both as parameters and when giving param file path to -param_file (-m)).
It is simple to pass in parameters to a PIG script.
First mark your variables in pig using '$' for example $input_file. Then pass the parameters to you script using pig -params input_file='/path/to/data'
for more information look here: http://wiki.apache.org/pig/ParameterSubstitution
Yes.
You can pass parameters along commandline options using pig's param option.
--customparam.pig
--load hdfs/local fs data
original = load '$input' using PigStorage('$delimiter');
--filter a specific field value into another bag
filtered = foreach original generate $split;
--storing data into hdfs/local fs
store filtered into '$output';
pig -x local -f customparam.pig -param input=Pig.csv -param
output=OUT/pig -param delimiter="," -param split='$1'

I have the following scenario-
Pig version used 0.70
Sample HDFS directory structure:
/user/training/test/20100810/<data files>
/user/training/test/20100811/<data files>
/user/training/test/20100812/<data files>
/user/training/test/20100813/<data files>
/user/training/test/20100814/<data files>
As you can see in the paths listed above, one of the directory names is a date stamp.
Problem: I want to load files from a date range say from 20100810 to 20100813.
I can pass the 'from' and 'to' of the date range as parameters to the Pig script but how do I make use of these parameters in the LOAD statement. I am able to do the following
temp = LOAD '/user/training/test/{20100810,20100811,20100812}' USING SomeLoader() AS (...);
The following works with hadoop:
hadoop fs -ls /user/training/test/{20100810..20100813}
But it fails when I try the same with LOAD inside the pig script. How do I make use of the parameters passed to the Pig script to load data from a date range?
Error log follows:

Do I need to make use of a higher language like Python to capture all date stamps in the range and pass them to LOAD as a comma separated list?
cheers
As zjffdu said, the path expansion is done by the shell. One common way to solve your problem is to simply use Pig parameters (which is a good way to make your script more resuable anyway):
shell:
pig -f script.pig -param input=/user/training/test/{20100810..20100812}
script.pig:
temp = LOAD '$input' USING SomeLoader() AS (...);
Pig is processing your file name pattern using the hadoop file glob utilities, not the shell's glob utilities. Hadoop's are documented here. As you can see, hadoop does not support the '..' operator for a range. It seems to me you have two options - either write out the {date1,date2,date2,...,dateN} list by hand, which if this is a rare use case is probably the way to go, or write a wrapper script which generates that list for you. Building such a list from a date range should be a trivial task for the scripting language of your choice. For my application, I've gone with the generated list route, and it's working fine (CHD3 distribution).
i ran across this answer when i was having trouble trying to create a file glob in a script and then pass it as a parameter into a pig script.
none of the current answers applied to my situation, but i did find a general answer that might be helpful here.
in my case, the shell expansion was happening and then passing that into the script - causing complete problems with the pig parser, understandably.
so by simply surrounding the glob in double-quotes protects it from being expanded by the shell, and passes it as is into the command.
WON'T WORK:
$ pig -f my-pig-file.pig -p INPUTFILEMASK='/logs/file{01,02,06}.log' -p OTHERPARAM=6
WILL WORK
$ pig -f my-pig-file.pig -p INPUTFILEMASK="/logs/file{01,02,06}.log" -p OTHERPARAM=6
i hope this saves someone some pain and agony.
So since this works:
temp = LOAD '/user/training/test/{20100810,20100811,20100812}' USING SomeLoader()
but this does not work:
temp = LOAD '/user/training/test/{20100810..20100812}' USING SomeLoader()
but if you want a date range that spans say 300 days and passing a full list to LOAD is not elegant to say the least. I came up with this and it works.
Say you want to load data from 2012-10-08 to today 2013-02-14, what you can do is
temp = LOAD '/user/training/test/{201210*,201211*,201212,2013*}' USING SomeLoader()
then do a filter after that
filtered = FILTER temp BY (the_date>='2012-10-08')
temp = LOAD '/user/training/test/2010081*/*' USING SomeLoader() AS (...);
load 20100810~20100819 data
temp = LOAD '/user/training/test/2010081{0,1,2}/*' USING SomeLoader() AS (...);
load 20100810~2010812 data
if the variable is in the middle of file path, concate subfolder name or use '*' for all files.
I found this problem is caused by linux shell. Linux shell will help you expand
{20100810..20100812}
to
20100810 20100811 20100812,
then you actually run command
bin/hadoop fs -ls 20100810 20100811 20100812
But in the hdfs api, it won't help you to expand the expression.
Thanks to dave campbell.
Some of the answer beyond are wrong since they got some votes.
Following is my test result:
Works
pig -f test.pig -param input="/test_{20120713,20120714}.txt"
Cannot have space before or after "," in the expression
pig -f test.pig -param input="/test_201207*.txt"
pig -f test.pig -param input="/test_2012071?.txt"
pig -f test.pig -param input="/test_20120713.txt,/test_20120714.txt"
pig -f test.pig -param input=/test_20120713.txt,/test_20120714.txt
Cannot have space before or after "," in the expression
Doesn't Work
pig -f test.pig -param input="/test_{20120713..20120714}.txt"
pig -f test.pig -param input=/test_{20120713,20120714}.txt
pig -f test.pig -param input=/test_{20120713..20120714}.txt
Do I need to make use of a higher language like Python to capture all date stamps in the range and pass them to LOAD as a comma separated list?
Probably you don't - this can be done using custom Load UDF, or try rethinking you directory structure (this will work good if your ranges are mostly static).
additionally: Pig accepts parameters, maybe this would help you (maybe you could do function that will load data from one day and union it to resulting set, but I don't know if it's possible)
edit: probably writing simple python or bash script that generates list of dates (folders) is the easiest solution, you than just have to pass it to Pig, and this should work fine
To Romain's answer, if you want to just parameterize the date, the shell will run like this:
pig -param input="$(echo {20100810..20100812} | tr ' ' ,)" -f script.pig
pig:
temp = LOAD '/user/training/test/{$input}' USING SomeLoader() AS (...);
Please note the quotes.
Pig support globe status of hdfs,
so I think pig can handle the pattern
/user/training/test/{20100810,20100811,20100812},
could you paste the error logs ?
Here's a script I'm using to generate a list of dates, and then put this list to pig script params. Very tricky, but works for me.
For example:
DT=20180101
DT_LIST=''
for ((i=0; i<=$DAYS; i++))
do
d=$(date +%Y%m%d -d "${DT} +$i days");
DT_LIST=${DT_LIST}$d','
done
size=${#DT_LIST}
DT_LIST=${DT_LIST:0:size-1}
pig -p input_data=xxx/yyy/'${DT_LIST}' script.pig
