Rows in HBase are sorted lexicographically, so that 1 precedes 10 and 100.
You need to
a) ORDER library BY id in Pig script or
b) pad your HBase rowkey with zeros e.g. 001, 010, 100, 101 before
loading it in Pig (but I will require re-write of the HBase table,
since each row can not be simply updated, but will have to be
re-insterted into the table)
