Schema errors when using PigStorage and none when using BinStorage??
--------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-798
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-798
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: impl
    Affects Versions: 0.2.0
            Reporter: Viraj Bhat
             Fix For: 0.2.0


In the following script I have a tab separated text file, which I load using 
PigStorage() and store using BinStorage()
{code}
A = load '/user/viraj/visits.txt' using PigStorage() as (name:chararray, 
url:chararray, time:chararray);

B = group A by name;

store B into '/user/viraj/binstoragecreateop' using BinStorage();

dump B;
{code}

I later load file 'binstoragecreateop' in the following way.
{code}

A = load '/user/viraj/binstoragecreateop' using BinStorage();

B = foreach A generate $0 as name:chararray;

dump B;
{code}

The above code work properly and returns the right results. If I use 
PigStorage() to achieve the same, I get the following error.
{code}
A = load '/user/viraj/visits.txt' using PigStorage();

B = foreach A generate $0 as name:chararray;

dump B;

{code}

Schema: name: chararray

So why should the semantics of BinStorage() be different from PigStorage() 
where is ok not to specify a schema??? Should it not be consistent across both.
