Ashutosh Chauhan updated PIG-1190: ---------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: Open) Test cases are included. > 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 > Assignee: Ashutosh Chauhan > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: pig-1190.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
