Jonathan Packer created PIG-3142: ------------------------------------ Summary: Fixed-width load and store functions for the Piggybank Key: PIG-3142 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3142 Project: Pig Issue Type: New Feature Components: piggybank Affects Versions: 0.11 Reporter: Jonathan Packer Attachments: fixed-width.patch
Adds load/store functions for fixed width data to the Piggybank. They use the syntax of the unix "cut" command to specify column positions, and have an option to skip the header row when loading or to write a header row when storing. The header handling works properly with multiple small files each with a header being combined into one split, or a large file with a single header being split into multiple splits. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
