John Sichi commented on HIVE-1438:
----------------------------------

For the test case, it's good that you have non-English text.  However, I'm 
worried that checking in non-ASCII files to Subversion may cause encoding 
problems on some platforms (I've seen problems from this in the past).  Let's 
think of a way to avoid that () while preserving the test coverage.

Looking at the grammar file (Hive.g), there may be a way to encode Unicode 
characters as hex in a character string literal.

> Create a generic UDF that tokenizes free-form natural language text into 
> sentences and words for more advanced processing, while stripping unnecessary 
> punctuation and being fully international-aware. Fortunately, most of this 
> functionality is already built into Java in the form of the i8n BreakIterator 
> class, so this UDF will just connect it to Hive. For example:
> > SELECT sentences("Hello there! This is a UDF.") FROM somedata LIMIT 1;
> [ ["Hello", "there"], ["This", "is", "a", "UDF"] ]
> or
> > SELECT sentences("Je m'apelle hive!!!", "fr") FROM somedata LIMIT 1;
> [["Je","m'apelle","hive"]]
> Notice how punctuation is maintained only where appropriate. Breaking at 
> sentences (and thus the nested array return type) is important for tasks like 
> counting the frequency of n-grams in text, which should not cross sentence 
> boundaries.
