Apache Pig - Diagnostic Operators

The load statement will simply load the data into the specified relation in Apache Pig. To verify the execution of the Load statement, you have to use the Diagnostic Operators. Pig Latin provides four different types of diagnostic operators −

  • Dump operator
  • Describe operator
  • Explanation operator
  • Illustration operator

In this chapter, we will discuss the Dump operators of Pig Latin.

Dump Operator

The Dump operator is used to run the Pig Latin statements and display the results on the screen. It is generally used for debugging Purpose.

Syntax

Given below is the syntax of the Dump operator.

grunt> Dump Relation_Name

Example

Assume we have a file student_data.txt in HDFS with the following content.

001,Rajiv,Reddy,9848022337,Hyderabad
002,siddarth,Battacharya,9848022338,Kolkata
003,Rajesh,Khanna,9848022339,Delhi
004,Preethi,Agarwal,9848022330,Pune
005,Trupthi,Mohanthy,9848022336,Bhuwaneshwar
006,Archana,Mishra,9848022335,Chennai.

And we have read it into a relation student using the LOAD operator as shown below.

grunt> student = LOAD 'hdfs://localhost:9000/pig_data/student_data.txt' 
   USING PigStorage(',')
   as ( id:int, firstname:chararray, lastname:chararray, phone:chararray, 
   city:chararray );

Now, let us print the contents of the relation using the Dump operator as shown below.

grunt> Dump student

Once you execute the above Pig Latin statement, it will start a MapReduce job to read data from HDFS. It will produce the following output.
