Find if a string is present inside another string in Pig

I want to find if a string contains another string in Pig. I found that there is a built-in index function, but it only searches for characters not strings.

Is there any other alternative?

Solution

  • You can use this : 

    X = FILTER A BY (f1 matches '.*the_word_you're_looking_for.*');
