    Description

      This patch is a fix for a bug for persisting bags of tuples via AvroStorage.

      The script that alerted me to a bug is:

      messages = LOAD '/tmp/messages.avro' USING AvroStorage();
      user_groups = GROUP messages by user_id;
      per_user = FOREACH user_groups

      { sorted = ORDER messages BY message_id DESC; GENERATE group AS user_id, sorted AS messages; }

      DESCRIBE per_user
      > per_user: {user_id: int,messages: {(message_id: int,topic: chararray,user_id: int)}}
      STORE per_user INTO '/tmp/per_user.avro' USING AvroStorage();

      The error is:
