Loading CSV File using Pig Script

A = LOAD '...' USING PigStorage(',') AS (...);

Filtering NULL values in chararray
Example1: null as chararray
input.txt

1,2014-04-08 12:09:23.0
2,2014-04-08 12:09:23.0
3,null
4,null

Pig:

A = LOAD 'input.txt' USING PigStorage(',') AS (f1:int,f2:chararray);
B = FILTER A BY f2!='null';
DUMP B;

Example2: Real null value
input.txt

Pig:

A = LOAD 'input.txt' USING PigStorage(',') AS (f1:int,f2:chararray);
B = FILTER A BY f2 is not null;
DUMP B;

Output:

Maruthi,40
Suziki,60
Honda,14
BMW,140
Benz,5

a1 = LOAD 'Test.csv' USING PigStorage(',') AS (Car:chararray, No:int);
DESCRIBE a1;

Output

b1 = GROUP a1 BY Car;
DESCRIBE b1;

 b1: {group: chararray,a1: {(Car: chararray,No: int)}}

DUMP b1;

Output

(Honda,{(Honda,4),(Honda,14)})
(Suziki,{(Suziki,50),(Suziki,60)})
(Maruthi,{(Maruthi,10),(Maruthi,55),(Maruthi,40)})
(,{(,)})

 c1 = FOREACH b1 GENERATE group, MAX(a1.No);

Output

Getting Count of Corrupted Records

filtered_records = FILTER records BY Item is null OR No is null;
grouped_records = GROUP filtered_records BY Type;
DESCRIBE grouped_records;

corrupt_records = FOREACH grouped_records GENERATE group , COUNT(filtered_records);

Writing macros to find Maximum Item Sold

DEFINE max_item_sold(Records, Type, No) RETURNS c 
{ 
 b = GROUP $Records BY $Type;                        
 $c = FOREACH b GENERATE group, MAX($Records.$No);  
}; 

 max_type_sold = max_item_sold(records, Type, No);
