Thejas M Nair updated PIG-1190:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.7.0
> Handling of quoted strings in pig-latin/grunt commands
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-1190
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1190
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Thejas M Nair
> Fix For: 0.7.0
>
>
> There is some inconsistency in the way quoted strings are used/handled in
> pig-latin .
> In load/store and define-ship commands, files are specified in quoted strings
> , and the file name is the content within the quotes. But in case of
> register, set, and file system commands , if string is specified in quotes,
> the quotes are also included as part of the string. This is not only
> inconsistent , it is also unintuitive.
> This is also inconsistent with the way hdfs commandline (or bash shell)
> interpret file names.
> For example, currently with the command -
> set job.name 'job123'
> The job name set set to 'job123' (including the quotes) not job123 .
> This needs to be fixed, and above command should be considered equivalent to
> - set job.name job123.
