- Ensure that we have a file named wikitechy_doj_dob.txt in the HDFS directory /pig_data/.
- This file contains the date-of-birth and date-of-joining details of a particular person, id, date-of-birth, and date-of-joining.
wikitechy_doj_dob.txt

002,20/06/1980 10:22:00,10/08/2011 09:00:00
003,19/12/1990 03:11:44,25/10/2012 09:00:00
We have loaded this file into Pig with a relation named doj_dob_data as given below.
doj_dob_data = LOAD 'hdfs://localhost:9000/pig_data/wikitechy_doj_dob.txt' USING PigStorage(',')
as (id:int, dob:chararray, doj:chararray);
- Now you can calculate the number of hours between date-of-birth and date-of-joining of the employees using the HoursBetween() function as given below.
hoursbetween_data = foreach doj_dob_data generate HoursBetween(ToDate(doj,
'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss'),ToDate(dob,'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss'));
