Big Data Module 2 . Chapter 3 Pig Latin Syntax

[odesh]

Hello,

I need a quick clarification of syntax. Please see bottom line of attachment.

I am not sure what the asterisks mean in *00/part* ?

Thanks.

Odesh.

Hi. The instructors said: "It allows for wild carding on a pig LOAD statement. In the example, load all files that begin with part from any folder that ends in 00. The part files come from a mapreduce program, such as part-m-00000 from a map task, or part-r-00000 from a reduce task."

Hope this helps,
Cynthia
