------------------------------------------
Hi Vaibhav,
This seems like a specific use-case. Please post these questions on Pig Users
Mailing list and someone would be able to suggest solutions. JIRA is more of a
place to suggest improvements, new features, bugs...
For this problem, if you are reading from a file you could possibly do a
SUBSTRING on these values. Let's take this to the mailing list in any case.
