datafu.pig.util.Coalesce

public class Coalesce
extends AliasableEvalFunc<java.lang.Object>

Returns the first non-null value from a tuple, just like COALESCE in SQL. Example:

 define COALESCE datafu.pig.util.COALESCE();

 -- input: 1,2,3,NULL,4,NULL,5
 input = LOAD 'input' AS (val:int);

 -- produces: 1,2,3,99,4,99,5
 coalesced = FOREACH input GENERATE COALESCE(val,99);
