sudhir mallem commented on PIG-3733:
------------------------------------
Yes. If the semi-colon is part of REGEX statement, it works. whereas in
Function like CONCAT, its not working. I'm not sure if other functions which
has ";" has the same problem.
For example, if there is a variable substitution and the variable has
semi-colon, it fails.
here is an example:
{code}
[smallem@eat1-hcl4014 ~]$ vi testvar.pig
%declare testVar 'hello;';
a = load '/user/smallem/mem.csv' using PigStorage('|') as (uid:int,
sid:chararray);
b = foreach a generate uid, sid, $testVar as newcol;
dump b
{code}
