HBaseStorage constructor syntax is error prone
----------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1946
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1946
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Bill Graham
Assignee: Bill Graham
Using {{HBaseStorage}} like so seems like a reasonable thing to do, but it will
yield unexpected results:
{code}
STORE result INTO 'hbase://foo' USING
org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.hbase.HBaseStorage('info:first_name,
info:last_name');
{code}
The problem us that a column named {{info:first_name,}} will be created, with
the trailing comma included. I've had numerous developers get tripped up on
this issue since everywhere else in Pig variables are separated by commas, so I
propose we fix it.
I propose we trim leading/trailing commas from column names, but I'm open to
other ideas.
Also should we accept column names that are comman-delimited without spaces?
