Hong Tang commented on PIG-794:
-------------------------------
- It appears that the code added a three-byte sync-mark \1\2\3 before every
tuple.
- There is no escaping of sync-mark collisions in user code.
- The introduction of the sync mark also defeats the purpose of using Avro in
the first place (sharing a common serialization format).
