column delimiters.
> HBaseStorage constructor syntax is error prone
> ----------------------------------------------

> Key: PIG-1946
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1946
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Bill Graham
> Assignee: Bill Graham
> Fix For: 0.10

> Attachments: PIG-1946_1.patch

> Using {{HBaseStorage}} like so seems like a reasonable thing to do, but it
> will yield unexpected results:
> {code}
> STORE result INTO 'hbase://foo' USING
> org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.hbase.HBaseStorage(
> 'info:first_name, info:last_name');
> {code}
> The problem us that a column named {{info:first_name,}} will be created, with
> the trailing comma included. I've had numerous developers get tripped up on
> this issue since everywhere else in Pig variables are separated by commas, so
> I propose we fix it.
> I propose we trim leading/trailing commas from column names, but I'm open to
> other ideas.
> Also should we accept column names that are comman-delimited without spaces?
