Andy Schlaikjer commented on PIG-2715:
--------------------------------------

> When you print out the schema, there is no alias: "map[int]". And we will not parse "map[count:int]".

When I "DESCRIBE relation_with_map_with_value_alias" I *do* see map value alias e.g. "map[count: int]" when code has programmatically set the alias, in this case within a LoadFunc implementation.

> Programmatically, pig components are able to define schema field aliases for map values, but the same cannot be done via piglatin. For example:
> {code}
> %default INPUT_PATH 'map_value_alias_bug.tsv';
> A = LOAD '$INPUT_PATH' AS (
>   id: long,
>   -- events: [count: int] -- parse failure
>   events: [int]
> );
> DESCRIBE A;
> A = FOREACH A GENERATE
>   id,
>   -- (map[count: int]) events -- parse failure
>   -- ([count: int]) events -- parse failure
>   -- events: [count: int] -- parse failure
>   -- events AS [count: int] -- parse failure
>   -- events AS events: [count: int] -- parse failure
>   ([int]) events -- this is okay
>   ;
> DESCRIBE A;
> quit;
> {code}
> When using the [Elephant Bird project|https://github.com/kevinweil/elephant-bird/]'s [ThriftToPig utility|https://github.com/kevinweil/elephant-bird/blob/master/src/java/com/twitter/elephantbird/pig/util/ThriftToPig.java#L273] along with a Thrift message spec containing a map field, I see schemas of the following form:
> {code}
> message: {id: long,events: map[events: int])}}
> {code}
> This same DESCRIBE output does not parse if used within piglatin.
