Description

Simple Pig script which uses Unicode characters in the PigStorage() constructor fails with the following error:

studenttab = LOAD '/user/viraj/studenttab10k' AS (name:chararray, age:int,gpa:float);
X2 = GROUP studenttab by age;
Y2 = FOREACH X2 GENERATE group, COUNT(studenttab);
store Y2 into '/user/viraj/y2' using PigStorage('\u0001');
