Joseph Adler commented on PIG-2614:
-----------------------------------
Just taking a look at this patch now
If I'm reading the code correctly, it should not be necesarry for the author of
a UDF (specifically a LoadFunc) to do anything special to take advantage of
this functionality. Is that correct?
> AvroStorage crashes on LOADING a single bad error
