Trying to load the json file which is having null values in it by using elephant-bird JsonLoader.

describe json; dump json;When I dump json,I am getting the following output and the worning

WARN org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.PigHadoopLogger - org.apache.pig.builtin.JsonLoader(UDF_WARNING_1): Bad record, returning null for {complete json}
By warning i guess it is getting NULL values. So how can we load a Json which is having null values in it.
And I have tried in another way i.e
json = LOAD 'sample.json' USING com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.load.JsonLoader('created_at:chararray, id:chararray, id_str:chararray, text:chararray, source:chararray, in_reply_to_status_id:chararray, in_reply_to_status_id_str:chararray, in_reply_to_user_id:chararray, in_reply_to_user_id_str:chararray, in_reply_to_screen_name:chararray, geo:chararray, coordinates:chararray, place:chararray, contributors:chararray, is_quote_status:bytearray, retweet_count:long, favorite_count:chararray, entities:map[], favorited:bytearray, retweeted:bytearray, possibly_sensitive:bytearray, lang:chararray');
describe json;Output
Schema for json unknown.
Please suggest me.
Thanks.

thanks for your reply Artem Ervits.
I think it is because of the difference versions that i have used in my script.
When i used the same versions of elephant bird then it worked fine for me as suggested by @gkeys.
script:-
REGISTER elephant-bird-core-4.1.jar REGISTER elephant-bird-hadoop-compat-4.1.jar REGISTER elephant-bird-pig-4.1.jar REGISTER json-simple-1.1.1.jar twitter = LOAD 'sample.json' USING com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.load.JsonLoader(); extracted = foreach twitter generate (chararray)$0#'created_at' as created_at,(chararray)$0#'id' as id,(chararray)$0#'id_str' as id_str,(chararray)$0#'text' as text,(chararray)$0#'source' as source,com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.piggybank.JsonStringToMap($0#'entities') as entities,(boolean)$0#'favorited' as favorited,(long)$0#'favorite_count' as favorite_count,(long)$0#'retweet_count' as retweet_count,(boolean)$0#'retweeted' as retweeted,com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.piggybank.JsonStringToMap($0#'place') as place; dump extracted; And it worked fine.

@Mohan V took your sample, ran this on HDP 2.5 Sandbox so using Pig 0.16 rather than 0.15 but otherwise everything else is the same. I also renamed alias json to data.

used the jars provided by @gkeys in your other question, the only difference is you're mixing 4.3 with 4.1 versions, perhaps that's the issue

thanks for your reply Artem Ervits.
I think it is because of the difference versions that i have used in my script.
When i used the same versions of elephant bird then it worked fine for me as suggested by @gkeys.
script:-
REGISTER elephant-bird-core-4.1.jar REGISTER elephant-bird-hadoop-compat-4.1.jar REGISTER elephant-bird-pig-4.1.jar REGISTER json-simple-1.1.1.jar twitter = LOAD 'sample.json' USING com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.load.JsonLoader(); extracted = foreach twitter generate (chararray)$0#'created_at' as created_at,(chararray)$0#'id' as id,(chararray)$0#'id_str' as id_str,(chararray)$0#'text' as text,(chararray)$0#'source' as source,com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.piggybank.JsonStringToMap($0#'entities') as entities,(boolean)$0#'favorited' as favorited,(long)$0#'favorite_count' as favorite_count,(long)$0#'retweet_count' as retweet_count,(boolean)$0#'retweeted' as retweeted,com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.piggybank.JsonStringToMap($0#'place') as place; dump extracted; And it worked fine.
