Pardon the cross-post: Does Pig ever re-use FileInputLoadFunc objects? We suspect state is being retained between different stores, but we don't actually know this. Figured I'd ask to verify the hunch.
Our load func for our in-house format works fine with Pig scripts normally... but I have a pig script that looks like this: LOAD thing1 SPLIT thing1 INTO thing2, thing3 STORE thing2 INTO thing2 STORE thing3 INTO thing3 LOAD thing4 SPLIT thing4 INTO thing5, thing6 STORE thing5 INTO thing5 STORE thing6 INTO thing6 And it works via PigStorage, but not via our FileInputLoadFunc.
