Description

Using hbase table created via shell:
create 'hbase_test', 'cf'

The following pig example could not persist to hbase_test:

FIELDS_FROM_FILE = LOAD '/<some dir>/data-00000' USING PigStorage('\u0001') AS (
field1:long,
field2:chararray
);

HBASE_FIELDS = FOREACH FIELDS_FROM_FILE GENERATE field1 as field1, field2 as field2;

STORE HBASE_FIELDS into 'hbase_test' USING org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.hbase.HBaseStorage('cf:field2');
